This is particularly true of marginalized teens, such as kids in foster homes and LGBT adolescents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen some of the really big positives, which is that kids who are isolated can find a community,” Oransky said. “They’re often first able to come out to online friends.” In a 2013 survey, 50 percent of LGBT youth \u003ca href=\"https://www.glsen.org/press/study-finds-lgbt-youth-face-greater-harassment-online\">reported\u003c/a> having at least one close friend they knew only from online interactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young adults with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder can also \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26744309\">find social support\u003c/a> via social media, according to a study published in 2016. “These people are openly discussing their illness online,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.hprcd.org/john-naslund-mph/\">John Naslund\u003c/a>, a research fellow at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media postings can help \u003ca href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00127-013-0815-7\">foster greater acceptance\u003c/a> of mental health problems. “It’s definitely real that there’s hostility online,” Naslund said. “But we’ve found that comments related to mental health are overwhelmingly positive. People can learn how to cope with symptoms and how to find the right support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But parents can and should help their children use social media wisely, experts say. Oransky suggests, for instance, that parents talk with kids about the privacy consequences of posting compromising material, such as revealing pictures or personal details that might affect their job prospects. Naslund recommends that people start cautiously on social media by using pseudonyms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna uses filters to keep co-workers from seeing her mental health posts.

It was too late to call the therapist she was seeing to cope with low self-esteem and homesickness, and too late to stop by a friend’s house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, she turned to social media. “I’m having a really hard time right now,” Anna — who asked to be identified by a pseudonym — posted on Facebook. “Is there anyone I can call and talk to until I feel better?”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">Some academics and therapists are proposing a counterintuitive view of social media: It helps improve mental health by boosting self-esteem and providing a source of emotional support.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately, three people responded with offers to talk. They were friends she had met playing Quidditch, a sport based on the Harry Potter fantasy books, and she kept in touch with them online. Anna talked to two of them until she was able to fall sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I used to be very shy about posting personal stuff on Facebook because I didn’t want people judging me,” said Anna, 26. “But that night, I was in such a bad place; I was desperate, and I thought anything would help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negative effects of social media on young people’s mental health are well-documented by researchers and the press.

These benefits have attracted too little attention from journalists and parents, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, social media is contributing to a new era of adolescent (and adult) social stress, but when we accept that it is here to stay, we can also see it as a new opportunity for connection and mindfulness,” according to an online advice column published by the University of California-Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to think about social media as not being absolutely good or bad,” said \u003ca href=\"http://mediaschool.indiana.edu/profile/?p=gonzaamy\">Amy Gonzales\u003c/a>, an assistant professor who studies social media and health at Indiana University’s Media School. “We need to think about how to come up with appropriate uses of this stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media have become integral to the lives of young adults and teens: \u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/sites/default/files/uploads/research/census_executivesummary.pdf\">45 percent of teenagers\u003c/a> say they use apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In research published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, Gonzales found that college students who viewed their own Facebook \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21329447\">profiles enjoyed a boost in self-esteem afterward\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By curating their online personas to reflect their best traits — choosing flattering pictures and sharing exciting experiences — users remember what they like best about themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like the way you might feel good about yourself when you check yourself out in the mirror before a date,” Gonzales explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other \u003ca href=\"http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/cyber.2010.0374\">studies\u003c/a> reveal that people feel more social support when they present themselves honestly on social media, and tend to feel less stressed after they do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You get much broader affirmation by posting on social media than from calling a relative,” Anna said. “It’s one thing if you text a friend; it’s another thing if you have a bunch of people trying to help you out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mountsinai.org/profiles/matthew-oransky\">Matthew Oransky\u003c/a>, an assistant professor of adolescent psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and a practicing therapist, said many of his patients find social connections online they could not find elsewhere. This is particularly true of marginalized teens, such as kids in foster homes and LGBT adolescents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen some of the really big positives, which is that kids who are isolated can find a community,” Oransky said. “They’re often first able to come out to online friends.” In a 2013 survey, 50 percent of LGBT youth \u003ca href=\"https://www.glsen.org/press/study-finds-lgbt-youth-face-greater-harassment-online\">reported\u003c/a> having at least one close friend they knew only from online interactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young adults with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder can also \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26744309\">find social support\u003c/a> via social media, according to a study published in 2016. “These people are openly discussing their illness online,” said \u003ca href=\"http://www.hprcd.org/john-naslund-mph/\">John Naslund\u003c/a>, a research fellow at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media postings can help \u003ca href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00127-013-0815-7\">foster greater acceptance\u003c/a> of mental health problems. “It’s definitely real that there’s hostility online,” Naslund said. “But we’ve found that comments related to mental health are overwhelmingly positive. People can learn how to cope with symptoms and how to find the right support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But parents can and should help their children use social media wisely, experts say. Oransky suggests, for instance, that parents talk with kids about the privacy consequences of posting compromising material, such as revealing pictures or personal details that might affect their job prospects. Naslund recommends that people start cautiously on social media by using pseudonyms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna uses filters to keep co-workers from seeing her mental health posts. But she views social media as a way to act on her therapist’s recommendation to reach out for support when she needs it. “If you trust your friends,” she said, “I don’t see why you shouldn’t embrace the social media option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a>, which publishes \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiahealthline.org/\">California Healthline\u003c/a>, an editorially independent service of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/\">California Health Care Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a> (KHN) is a national health policy news service.

And we worry about the mental and physical effects that excess tech may be having on our kids and ourselves. \u003ca href=\"http://www.familiesmanagingmedia.com/club-unplug-for-moms/about-us/\">Melanie Hempe\u003c/a>, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Families Managing Media in Charlotte, N.C., says she is concerned that overuse of digital technology isolates, rather than brings together, parents and kids both emotionally and physically. It also takes them away from activities that are shown to benefit their bodies and brains, like playing outside with a friend or reading a book. Here are some guiding principles for parenting in the digital age from conversations with Hempe and other experts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Be aware that not all tech is the same. \u003c/strong>Rather than making rules based strictly on screen time, figure out what your kids are actually doing when they're on the computer or their phone, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.raisingdigitalnatives.com/about/\">Devorah Heitner\u003c/a>, who founded \u003ca href=\"http://www.raisingdigitalnatives.com/\">Raising Digital Natives\u003c/a> and is the author of \u003cem>Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World\u003c/em>. Ask them to show you exactly which sites they visit and how they spend their time. They might be doing homework, composing music or writing a novel. Or they might be playing a first-person shooter game or following the Kardashians' every move on Instagram. Your limits on their use are likely to vary accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're concerned about compulsive use, current research suggests that online games seem to be the technology most likely to \"potentially result in problems,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www4.ntu.ac.uk/apps/staff_profiles/staff_directory/9925a18a-4fcb-4e32-aa68-b970f37b8f9d-0/26/profile.aspx?deptcode=SOC&deptTitle=School%20of%20Social%20Sciences&page=6\">Daria Kuss\u003c/a>, a psychologist and member of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University in the U.K. \"They're highly interactive and can engage players to such an extent that they easily forget about the time and their environment.\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/Internet%20Gaming%20Disorder%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf\">Internet gaming disorder\u003c/a> is identified in the current \u003cem>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual,\u003c/em> the \u003cem>DSM-5,\u003c/em> as a condition that warrants further study.) That doesn't mean your kid can't game, but it does mean you might want to be more alert to the potential for problems if that's his main online activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Think about the role tech plays in your family life.\u003c/strong> \"You should be focused on your values and what you think is important,\" says Hempe. Does everyone sit around the living room watching their own shows on their own iPads? Maybe it's time to institute family game or movie night. Can your children name three things they like to do as much as or more than an online activity? If not, maybe it's time to help them broaden their horizons. Do you spend more time posting witty remarks on Twitter than saying them out loud to your spouse? Schedule a regular tech-free date night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Model good behavior, online and off.\u003c/strong> \"We've fallen into this mental sinkhole where we get a communication and feel we have to respond to it,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://drlarryrosen.com/\">Larry Rosen\u003c/a>, a psychologist and professor emeritus at California State University, Dominguez Hills. That didn't happen overnight, but by now many people feel compelled to check social media constantly and to read and respond to emails and texts within minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We act out of this creeping anxiety of not being current,\" says Rosen, who is co-author of \u003cem>The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World\u003c/em>. And if your kids see you drop everything to respond to an email during dinner, they're going to get the idea that it's OK to drop everything and respond to a text during their homework.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen suggests weaning yourself by taking increasingly long tech breaks during the day, starting at one minute and working up to 30 minutes. And help kids with their own connectivity anxiety by telling them they're not bad friends if they aren't immediately answering a late-night text, says Heitner. \"Model boundaries, and model being unplugged,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, show your kids when and how to take your communications offline. \"Show you need to be able to go to someone face to face to resolve relationship difficulties,\" says Heitner. \"Show them how to move away from an Instagram comment to 'I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have tech-free zones and times.\u003c/strong> One way to help everyone curb overuse is to create tech-free zones, says Rosen.

It also takes them away from activities that are shown to benefit their bodies and brains, like playing outside with a friend or reading a book. Here are some guiding principles for parenting in the digital age from conversations with Hempe and other experts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Be aware that not all tech is the same. \u003c/strong>Rather than making rules based strictly on screen time, figure out what your kids are actually doing when they're on the computer or their phone, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.raisingdigitalnatives.com/about/\">Devorah Heitner\u003c/a>, who founded \u003ca href=\"http://www.raisingdigitalnatives.com/\">Raising Digital Natives\u003c/a> and is the author of \u003cem>Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World\u003c/em>. Ask them to show you exactly which sites they visit and how they spend their time. They might be doing homework, composing music or writing a novel. Or they might be playing a first-person shooter game or following the Kardashians' every move on Instagram. Your limits on their use are likely to vary accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're concerned about compulsive use, current research suggests that online games seem to be the technology most likely to \"potentially result in problems,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www4.ntu.ac.uk/apps/staff_profiles/staff_directory/9925a18a-4fcb-4e32-aa68-b970f37b8f9d-0/26/profile.aspx?deptcode=SOC&deptTitle=School%20of%20Social%20Sciences&page=6\">Daria Kuss\u003c/a>, a psychologist and member of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University in the U.K. \"They're highly interactive and can engage players to such an extent that they easily forget about the time and their environment.\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/Internet%20Gaming%20Disorder%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf\">Internet gaming disorder\u003c/a> is identified in the current \u003cem>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual,\u003c/em> the \u003cem>DSM-5,\u003c/em> as a condition that warrants further study.) That doesn't mean your kid can't game, but it does mean you might want to be more alert to the potential for problems if that's his main online activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Think about the role tech plays in your family life.\u003c/strong> \"You should be focused on your values and what you think is important,\" says Hempe. Does everyone sit around the living room watching their own shows on their own iPads? Maybe it's time to institute family game or movie night. Can your children name three things they like to do as much as or more than an online activity? If not, maybe it's time to help them broaden their horizons. Do you spend more time posting witty remarks on Twitter than saying them out loud to your spouse? Schedule a regular tech-free date night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Model good behavior, online and off.\u003c/strong> \"We've fallen into this mental sinkhole where we get a communication and feel we have to respond to it,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://drlarryrosen.com/\">Larry Rosen\u003c/a>, a psychologist and professor emeritus at California State University, Dominguez Hills. That didn't happen overnight, but by now many people feel compelled to check social media constantly and to read and respond to emails and texts within minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We act out of this creeping anxiety of not being current,\" says Rosen, who is co-author of \u003cem>The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World\u003c/em>. And if your kids see you drop everything to respond to an email during dinner, they're going to get the idea that it's OK to drop everything and respond to a text during their homework.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen suggests weaning yourself by taking increasingly long tech breaks during the day, starting at one minute and working up to 30 minutes. And help kids with their own connectivity anxiety by telling them they're not bad friends if they aren't immediately answering a late-night text, says Heitner. \"Model boundaries, and model being unplugged,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, show your kids when and how to take your communications offline. \"Show you need to be able to go to someone face to face to resolve relationship difficulties,\" says Heitner. \"Show them how to move away from an Instagram comment to 'I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Have tech-free zones and times.\u003c/strong> One way to help everyone curb overuse is to create tech-free zones, says Rosen.
