As social media and artificial intelligence advance, it can be hard to know how to best help kids navigate the ever-changing digital landscape and keep them safe online.

Jen Doty, an Associate Professor in the Department of Counseling Psychology and Human Services at the University of Oregon, has studied cyberbullying since 2013 and has recently developed a program for middle school students to manage their social media usage. She joins us with her guide to conversations about internet use with school-aged kids.
