The Illusion of Connection: Social Media's Impact on Today's Kids w/ Brina Tiemeyer & Mark Washington
Description
What kind of connection are teens really finding online?
And what’s being lost or gained in the process?
In this episode, Brina Tieymeyer & Mark Washington (Zeeland Public Schools) help unpack the complex relationship between social media and connection.
Explore how constant digital interaction can impact emotional well-being, why kids (and adults!) may still feel lonely despite being “connected,” and what healthy use of social media can actually look like.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or youth worker, this conversation offers both caution and encouragement for helping kids build real, lasting connection, in person and online.
