The relationship between technology use and adolescent well-being is indeed... complicated. But this episode is for you if you are suffering from complexity fatigue. Dr. Katie Davis, Director of the University of Washington Digital Youth Lab, delivers compelling guidance that cuts through the noise without compromising the research. This is no small feat!

Erin talks to Dr. Katie Davis about:

• A guiding framework to help you discern - When does technology support adolescent development, and when does it not?
• Why paying attention to platform design really shapes the answer to that question.
• Practical strategies for helping teens develop more mindful tech use.
• Why being a “good enough” digital parent is often just what teens need.
