There's no easy way to track or monitor teens' viewing habits, and they can access videos pretty much anywhere.

The American Psychological Association has released new guidelines for healthy teen video viewing.

The guidelines offer parents guidance on warning signs related to harmful viewing habits.

They also highlight the negative role that influencers can play, the dangers of AI -generated video material.

Parents can talk to their teens about non-obvious video content that may still be dangerous.

They can also set boundaries related to engaging with that material.

Prinstein : "We're all in this together. We should not feel like we have to take care of this all by ourselves".
