About this episode

Margot Denomme discusses the negative effects of screen time and social media on children's mental health and the importance of parental action.

Margot Denomme is my guest on this episode, and she brings her 26 years of experience as a Crown Attorney where she saw first-hand how low self-esteem and social media can harm children, leading to mental health issues, bullying and legal troubles.   She discusses the importance of parents’ taking collective action to bring about the changes needed to protect our vulnerable children. She has founded an organization called “Raising Awareness About Digital Dangers” (RAADD) which offers a host of resources for youth and their parents, including her book “The Smart Phone Guide”.  Check out her book and all the resources at RAADD: https://raadd.ca/ You can find Margot Demonne’s RAADD movement of “Control The Scroll” on IG at @RAADDMovement  And Margot herself on LinkedIn ********** Thank you to FeedSpot for selecting “Parenting the Adlerian Way” as the # 1 parenting podcast in Canada two years in a row!
