Researchers were lumping the middle schoolers in with either younger children or older teens, and there really just wasn't much in the market.
And so my
prior career before I was a school counselor is that I was a journalist.
So I decided to use my skill set to create the resources that I needed to do my job better.
I agree.
I have a son.
My oldest is 20 and my youngest is 13.
He's going into eighth grade.
And I feel like I have raised kids in different generations.
My oldest didn't have a cell phone until he was in ninth grade.
My youngest was playing on his father's cell phone when he was practically a toddler.
And as much as I wanted to limit that cell phone use or limit the exposure, delay the exposure, it's really, really hard to raise kids in this culture to have friends, to be connected with their peers without some kind of a device and way to reach them.
And then, of course, the pandemic hit and all bets were off the table.
That was when I got that phone for my son.
Well, first of all, thank you so much for asking that question.
I really appreciate that.
And I think sometimes we do forget to check in with each other.
And one of the ways that I'm trying to make sure that I stay steady, that I am centered, that I'm able to self-regulate in order to help other people is by making sure that I'm connected to my friends, connected to my family, connected to people who make me feel safe.
good, people who are positive, because I think there's this misconception that the solution is self-care, that you should go for a run, listen to music, get enough rest.
All of that is important too.
