About this episode

Dr. Maree Davies discusses the importance of critical thinking in identifying fake news and manipulative content on social media for teenage girls.

Today I am bringing on Dr Maree Davies on to talk about social media content that may or may not be true. Fake news, manipulative content and the importance of raising your teenage daughter to be a critical thinker. Senior Lecturer Maree Davies's teaching and research interests focus on all aspects of teenagers, particularly within the contexts of social media. She has a particular interest in promoting critical thinking to be accessible for all teenagers through peer-to-peer talk, and supportive talk with adults. She has recently developed a critical thinking talk model called Street Smarts, which includes opportunities for teenagers to share their street experiences and stories, whilst maintaining the rigour of the cognitive, ethical and metacognitive aspects of critical thinking. https://profiles.auckland.ac.nz/mj-davies/publications Are you looking for ways to communicate with your girl so she can start opening up to you? Do you want to understand why is it so hard to approach your girl? Are you stuck on how to approach your teenage daughter in conversation without her freaking out?
