A new survey from the ​Digital Wellness Lab​ backs that up, showing that teens value balanced phone policies that are created with them, not for them.\n\nFinally, ​Vox​ also explored how families can navigate the AI era with kids—offering an approach that aligns with one of the eight practical mindshifts in our new ​professional development course for educators​: shifting from “What the heck?” to “What’s familiar?” These shifts are designed to help adults stay grounded, even as the tools keep changing.\n\nOur Three for Thriving video recap breaks down these trending stories—​watch it here​ for more context. Read on for the full roundup of news stories from this past week that sparked our team's curiosity. https://centerfordigitalthriving.ck.page/posts/\nthree-for-thriving-no-5-this-week-s-news-on-youth-tech-well-being\n\nYou can follow along on ​LinkedIn​, ​Instagram​, or ​Bluesky​ or ​opt in here​ to have the next installment delivered direct to your inbox: https://centerfordigitalthriving.kit.com/threeforthriving"}
