The world has changed. Parenting support should, too.

Today’s parents are navigating questions no previous generation has faced before.

When should I give my kid a phone? How much screen time is too much? How do I set boundaries around technology without pushing them away? How do I even start talking about AI when I'm still figuring it out myself?

That's why Good Inside is launching a new series on YouTube, Teens & Screens - a free bi-weekly video series helping parents navigate today's biggest technology questions.

Hosted by clinical psychologists Dr. Becky Kennedy and Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, each episode pairs the developmental "why" behind teen behavior with practical strategies parents can use right away.

STAY CONNECTED

Practical parenting guidance, delivered to your inbox

The guidance parents don't want to miss - age-relevant advice, expert insights, and access to live events.

What you’ll find in each episode

From July to December, each bi-weekly episode helps parents navigate real-life technology challenges with more confidence and connection.

You’ll get:

  • Practical scripts for conversations about phones, AI, gaming, social media, and more.
  • A deeper understanding of why tweens and teens react the way they do in a digital world.
  • Clear, actionable strategies you can use the very same day.
  • Guidance that helps create more connection - not more power struggles.

The first two episodes, now live, dive into questions that many parents are asking right now:

The #1 Screen Time Rule for Teens

Should your teen keep their phone in their bedroom overnight?

Learn why one phone rule can have such a big impact on sleep, anxiety, and emotional regulation - and get practical language for setting (or resetting) bedtime phone boundaries without nightly power struggles.

Why "Get Off Your Phone!" Never Works

If every request to put the phone away turns into a battle, you’re not alone.

Learn what happens when technology designed to keep us hooked meets an adolescent brain that's still developing impulse control - and how to set boundaries that actually work.
