Social Media: A Teen’s Perspective with Noah Reid (#63)

Today, guest host, Mandee Hamann interviews Noah Reid, a 17 year old High School student and Competitive Debater and Public Speaker. Noah shares the back story on how he, at the age of 15, wrote a persuasive speech about Age Restricting Social Media. He credits his parents’ continued open communication about Social Media and how their wisdom influenced the development of his speech and his perspectives. Noah encourages parents to talk openly with their teens and for teenagers to question their use of Social Media by asking simply, “How is this benefiting you?” and “What is the purpose [behind your use]?” This is an amazingly insightful interview that is sure to inspire a conversation between you and your teen. Support the show______________________________________________________The "Kids' Brains & Screens" paperback is NOW AVAILABLE!
