EXPERT ALI SHONE FELD AT THE
LIFESTYLE EXPERT IN THE AREA.
WELCOME BACK TO GREAT DAY,
MARQUETTE.
MARQUETTE. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT
STUDY.
STUDY.
STUDY. IT
STUDY. IT WAS OVER 10,000 TEENAGERS
BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 AND 16
AND THEY STUDIED OVER A THREE
YEAR PERIOD OF TIME.
THEY LOOKED AT THE IMPACT OF
SOCIAL MEDIA ON MENTAL HEALTH.
WHAT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS
IS THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE A
CORRELATION BETWEEN THE
FREQUENCY OF EXPOSIER TO SOCIAL
MEDIA AND COMPROMISED MENTAL
HEALTH DUE TO CYBER BULLYING
AND THE EXPOSURE TO CYBER
BULLYING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM
AND NOT NECESSARILY SOCIAL
MEDIA ITSELF.
MEDIA ITSELF. BUT THAT CYBER BULLYING LED TO
DECREASED SLEEP, LOSS OF SLEEP,
SOCIAL ACTIVITY, PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY, AND IT'S COMPROMISING
THE MENTAL WELL BEING OF THE
TEENAGERS.
TEENAGERS. >> THINK ABOUT 90% OF
TEENAGERS, YOU THINK SOCIAL
MEDIA TO CONNECT WITH FRIENDS
IN AND OUT OF SCHOOL, SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD
AND THAT EXPOSURE TO WHAT
THEY'RE SEEING AND CONNECTING
WITH IS AFFECTING THEIR MIND.
>> IT IS AND IT'S A FORMATIVE
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. ABOUT 6% OF ALL MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES FROM ABOUT THE AGE OF
14.
>>
>> SOCIAL
>> SOCIAL BULLYING AND MORE. >> I REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN TV
WENT OFF THE AIR AT A CERTAIN
HOUR.
HOUR.
HOUR. WITH PHONES AND TABLETS, KIDS
CAN'T NECESSARILY CONTROL
THEMSELVES AS FAR AS
DISCONNECTING AND PARENT HAVES
TO SLEEP AT SOME POINT.
I READ IN THE STUDY GIRLS
SUFFERED DISPROPORTIONATELY
SUFFERED DISPROPORTIONATELY OVER BOYS .
>> IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE AND THEY CAN'T
REALLY SAY WHY.
THEY THOUGHT GIRLS IN GENERAL
HAVE MORE SOCIAL ANXIETY THAN
BOYS.
BOYS.
BOYS. >>
BOYS. >> YOU'RE A MOM OF TWO AND
GUIDED TWO YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGH
THEIR TEENAGE YEARS AND YOU'RE
A WELL BEING EXPERT AND COACHED
ADULTS ON THIS THING ON HOW TO
COPE WITH THE CHALLENGES OF THE
WORLD.
WORLD.
WORLD. SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE BOX THAT
PARNS ARE TAKING TO THE ROOM AT
NIGHT.
NIGHT.
NIGHT. WE
NIGHT. WE USE FOR OUR ALARM CLOCK, ALL
SORTS OF OTHER THINGS.
I WOULD SAY HAVE OPEN DIALOGUE,
ASK YOUR CHILDREN QUESTIONS,
ASK YOUR TEENAGERS QUESTIONS.
IT'S HARD TO DO OPEN ENDED
QUESTIONS, THINGS THEY CAN'T
ANSWER WITH A YES OR NO AND BE
MORE INVOLVED WITH WHAT'S GOING
ON IN THEIR LIFE AND ENCOURAGE
PHYSICAL SOCIALIZATION.
PHYSICAL SOCIALIZATION. EASY FOR A ADULT OR CHILD TO
SIT ON YOUR PHONE AND FEEL
CONNECTED BUT NOT HAVE ANY REAL
CONNECTION SO GET OUT AND MOVE.
>> HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK
FOR POPS TO BE READY FOR
WHATEVER THEY CHILD IS TELLING
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. YOU'RE ASKING OPEN ENDED
QUESTIONS BUT IF THEY TELL YOU
SOMETHING THAT SHOCKS YOU, YOU
HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO TAKE IT
SO YOUR CHILD DOESN'T SHUT DOWN
AND NOT WANT TO TELL YOU
ANYTHING ELSE.
ANYTHING ELSE. >> YOU WANT TO BUILD TRUST.
