On this week’s program, a once-outgoing 11-year-old is now withdrawn and glued to his phone. Is this a case of normal tween moodiness, or is tech reshaping his emotions? A clinical psychologist delves into the challenges children ages 6 to 12 face. She also discusses how social media and AI are affecting emotional growth and provides tips for helping kids build real-life connections.
