Is your teenager’s summer "free time" quickly becoming a "digital free-for-all"? As school ends, parents everywhere are bracing for the inevitable surge in screen time. Instead of constant battles over device limits and social media bans, what if you could empower your teen to become a responsible digital citizen? In this episode of The Ash Said It Show, I sit down with Jennifer Berger, founder of Ready Set Screen, to discuss a transformative parenting framework: the Social Media Driver's License.
