I find Dr Ruston’s guests to be quite skilled and have learned a lot which I use daily with my children. I appreciate her openness and non judgmental attitude, talking with teens, yet offering current data on how screens and social media are harming children. I am so grateful for her ongoing work to help with this huge issue. My only critique would be that I haven’t yet heard anyone besides Jonathan Haidt recommend not allowing phones or social media until after 16. I would like to hear more from experts or parents who have taken the phone away or blocked social media and Snapchat, and how did that work out? Thanks!!

It’s assumed that guys have it “all”- they don’t. Both males and females have roles within the marriage to fulfill. A lot of marriage failures are from either side selfishly not doing their part leading to lack of trust and ultimate dissolution. If there are children, it leaves generational scarring. Let husbands and wives serve each other with joy, pass it on to future generations. In addition, maybe we can bump up our declining birth rate here in the USA and the world! Delaney, I will give your phone related podcasts and movies 5 stars, thanks for your efforts in this arena!

I have learned SO much from Delaney Ruston’s entire platform - between her documentary movies, newsletters, books and this podcast. I love that the podcast episodes aren’t too long and can listen in the car, while doing dishes, etc. The topics are relevant to what teens/tweens are actually going through, and she offers solid, practical advice for how to parent amidst the challenges, by sometimes even role-playing what to say in certain scenarios. Highly recommend this podcast!

I am so excited to have this podcast as an ongoing resource and I’m letting my friends know about it! 👍

Not just good information, but practical - including the advice that parenting fails when you tell teens what to do, as opposed to including them in decision-making, or guiding them to make their own good decisions.

The content is very good- but the background noise is very disturbing!!

I’m not a parent or a teen and I still find this podcast so helpful in considering the impact of tech on our lives and strategies for all kinds of relationships (with myself, my screens, and my loved ones). The Love Ambush episode was an especially poignant reminder about the power of community care when someone is struggling.

As a physician and parent, Delaney has been there and does a wonderful job sharing personal and professional wisdom. I’m so glad to have her practical approach in this podcast format!

Everyone should be listening to this podcast as it is simply amazing.

These are the key issues we should be considering and discussing for the mental and physical health of the future generation.

I appreciate the combination of perspectives Dr. Ruston brings into each episode. This podcast is both super informative and a great conversation starter. The recent vaccine one was especially timely. I learned a lot!

I’m a junior in college and even I learned a lot! I had no idea how many covid vaccines were actually being worked on and how collaborative it actually is. Sharing with my friends ASAP.

I highly recommend this. Her perspective as a parent as well as a doctor and the access she has to other high level professionals and the interviews with youth, strike an incredible, well rounded, perspective. I have really appreciated these podcasts and the Screenager movies and her blog emails. We are not alone in this struggle to understand how to raise healthy, happy, balanced children in our beautiful ever evolving tech soaked world.

I love everything from Dr. Ruston. Her films and Tech Tuesday emails are rich with content and worthwhile advice. What I particularly appreciate in her podcast is hearing her talk to the kids — this gives us parents a model of how we can engage with our kids in a warm, respectful way. And she considers the positive aspects of technology, rather than metaphorically throwing out the baby with the bath water. I highly recommend this podcast.

after watching the screenagers movie (i didn’t watch second chapter, since it doesn’t apply to me) and creating a contract, i wanted something to listen to while working or doing productive things. this podcast is great because i can stay focused while watching it, enjoy what im listening to, and i find it helpful when keeping my screen use in check. this is just an overall great podcast. i also like how, similar to the screenagers movie, it includes what kids and teens like me think about these subjects. i really recommend this podcast.

We have 3 teenagers and we had a screening of this movie at my daughter’s middle school. I couldn’t make it that evening so I signed up for the email list. I never seemed to have time to read them. They always seemed to make it into my archive for later. Finally, I have an easy way to get this information. It is so worth the wait - can’t wait for the next one!! Thank you!!

There were many practical tips . I am so enjoying listening listening

These episodes are really informative and entertaining I loved hearing from teens and experts and I plan to keep listening

This podcast gives a mix of experts & teens dealing with screen issues. Great to listen to alone and with your kids.

I listened to this episode with my 12-year-old son who has gotten lost in gaming this summer. When we listened to the podcast, he started crying, saying that he realizes it might be an addiction. He is now willing to set a timer and do low-dopamine activities after the timer goes off. It was so nice to listen to the podcast and have him draw his own conclusions, rather than us as parents coming down hard on him. Thank you so much for this podcast!!

This podcast is so needed! Dad of 3 teens, and I love how teens themselves are sharing their insights on these topics. Keep it going!!

This pod cast has put into words every g I have been saying to my children and my spouse. But in terms of the physical and metal impact. It really hit the targets for me. I’m going to sit down and listen to this with my family. I really thought the idea of equal time on and off the screen is brilliant. I look forward to more of these podcasts.

Screenagers is THE resource for thoughtful education and discussion on this important topic for families and society. So glad to have this talent in podcast form too.

So grateful for help in navigating such a large part of my kids lives. I appreciate the wisdom and guidance in Screenagers!

This show is so needed!! Love it

I listened and enjoyed this and really recommend it!

It’s really great to hear from other teenagers besides my own to understand what’s happening in the culture.

The movies were incredible, and I’m SO glad for the ongoing consistent support with this podcast! I learn a lot about my own habits and media usage, so my kid gets his support just like Mom!

Listening to teenagers who are in the mist of this and hearing the doctor follow up on their goals was really interesting! This is so timely now as Tik Tok has blown up on the news. A must listen!

Very helpful insights that build on information from the Screenagers documentaries. Particularly useful in these challenging times, when screens are becoming an even more integral part of our daily lives.
