Hi <<First Name>>,
Josh here from SmartSocial.com.
A simple fact is that students like YouTube… A LOT.

The more complicated fact is how to help students control how much YouTube they watch.

In this week’s live event: The Psychology of YouTube, Media Consumption, & Addiction, our three experts and student stories will help parents and educators understand:
  • Why YouTube is so addictive for students
  • What too much YouTube can do to a student’s mental health
  • Tips to help students regulate how much, and what types of videos, they are watching
