Recent research demonstrates that the more time a girl spends on social media, the more likely that girl is to become anxious or depressed. How come? And why is that effect so strong for most girls, but much weaker for most boys? How are girls using Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media? Join us for a Parent Enrichment Lecture featuring family physician and psychologist Dr. Leonard Sax. Learn about the new challenges facing girls in the 21st Century, what parents need to know, and most importantly, what they need to do.
