Momo

If you have a child, chances are you’ve heard about the Momo Challenge. A creepy image has been flying around the internet accompanying stories of videos that have been hacked by “Momo” with instructions on how kids should kill themselves in order to keep Momo from killing their entire family. Lovely. So let’s get something out of the way right now: it’s a hoax. The image, which is creepy, is actually from a Japanese sculpture, and had nothing at all to do with the internet, kids, or suicide. But the image became part of an urban legend and spread like wildfire. And along with the Momo Challenge legend came stories of hacked YouTube videos and links to actual suicides. The problem for parents seemed to be a mix of confusion about what was real and a lack of knowledge about how YouTube works, what its relationship is to YouTube Kids (which had its own suicide video scandal), and what parents can do to keep their kids safe while watching videos online. Fake stories were shared tens of thousands of times in Facebook groups and listservs and email chains. We’ve brought on family tech expert, and founder of the website Tech Savvy Mama, Leticia Barr to help us sort it all out.

This week we’re reposting one of our favorite episodes, about Alexa and kids. Amazon announced their new Echo Dot Kids Edition yesterday, so while we check that out, here's how we feel about kids and Alexa in general! With so many Echo devices in homes, do we need to set up rules about how long kids can play with Alexa? How much is too much? And if you do let your child talk to Alexa, which Alexa skills are best for kids? We’ve got some advice and recommendations!

Encore Episode: Is Alexa OK for kids?

Clinical psychologist Dr. Jerry Bubrick talks about a new social media documentary, the “Like” movie, and how we can help our kids deal with phone anxiety. Teens today are basically guinea pigs when it comes to the effects of social media. They're the first generation to grow up with the almost constant presence of cell phones. And while it's still too early to really know how this is affecting their developing brains, studies are already showing links between heavy social media use and things like anxiety, depression, and body image issues. A new social media documentary, called "Like," explores the impact that social media and cell phone use are having, and the filmmakers want to inspire us to better regulate our social media and phone use.  Take a look at the trailer for the "Like" movie. This week we’re interviewing someone who was featured in the “Like” movie, Dr. Jerry Bubrick. In addition to having teen daughters, Dr. Bubrick is a clinical psychologist who deals with anxiety disorders. He has both the real-life and clinical experience to not only explain the effects of social media on today’s teens, but to also offer hope and advice on how we can help our own children deal with the anxiety surrounding social media. From Dr. Bubrick’s bio on the Child Mind Institute’s website: Jerry Bubrick, PhD, is a senior clinical psychologist in the Anxiety Disorders Center and director of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Service at the Child Mind Institute. He is a cognitive and behavioral psychologist who specializes in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Widely recognized for developing one of the world’s most intensive pediatric programs for OCD, he is a pioneer in using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat children and teens with OCD and related anxiety disorders. Dr. Bubrick has provided direct patient care, supervised psychiatric residents and trained child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists in the CBT treatment for anxiety disorders. He has led workshops on OCD and anxiety disorders, and in his role as a public lecturer he has presented at primary and secondary schools, academic medical centers, community health organizations and professional conferences. He also co-authored Overcoming Compulsive Hoarding, the first book ever written on the topic. A dedicated advocate for children and their families, Dr. Bubrick is a significant public voice educating parents and teachers about the fear at the roots of anxiety — and how it’s effectively treated.
