A day program because they're really in crisis, for example, might be a kid who might need some more support on the digital world than just like,
Okay, don't look at sites that are harmful.
But even in that case, that would be a at least a three party conversation with their someone who's on their treatment side, a therapist, your child and you and potentially, you know, a co-parent.
It wouldn't be just like you and your kid just saying, like, okay, I'm gonna lock down your phone because you're struggling right now.
that would be, you know, like let's think together about, you know, the digital world is complicated.
Some of it is not great if you're really in active risk of self-harm, for example.
There may be things that aren't good to look at and there may be things that you want to keep off your least frequently used device.
I was just talking with a practitioner who treats for OCD and she has clients take their grading app off of their phone.
She's not saying lose the password.
She's saying put it on a device that you have less frequent access to so you can't overcheck it as easily.
Right.
So I think we need to look at setting up because unlike a substance you can refrain from, tech is actually part of our lives and often a very good part of our lives.
It's it can be a good part of your life where there's also a negative piece.
You know, it may be that like,
your friendships on Discord are a great part of your life, but you know, your experience of like Reddit is a negative part of your life or something like that.
Or it might even be w in the same app, but there's good and bad pieces.
So I think it's really important to help kids figure that out.
And ideally they are also making decisions, just like they might have to make a decision, I'm not gonna sit with these kids at lunch anymore because they're not nice or they're not supportive, or you know, the negatives outweigh the positives.
they might find that, okay, maybe I'm not gonna visit this page or this app anymore.
What we find is especially if kids are really good at tech, you know, building tech walls is something that they're just gonna go around anyway.
