Looking back at Sunday Edition’s Conversation with Aimee Winder Newton

Looking back on this week’s Sunday Edition, parents are trying to find the best ways to raise their children in the digital age. Aimee Winder Newton and Boyd talk about how parents can create better practices concerning social media. 

Children and teens are using social media constantly, according to statistics. This opens a whirlwind of problems like low mental health, loneliness, sleep deprivation, and struggles with human connection. 

Society recognizes the concern and is acting to solve the problem. Legislative bills have been passed concerning social media. Utah.gov has come out with some great resources for parents to look at.

Aimee Winder Newton urges parents to create time for the family away from screens and prioritize one on one time and delay giving your child a device as much as you can. It can be hard to do these things in a digital society but parents need to stand up and be brave to protect their children.
