Today on the Conversation, we're holding a panel discussion on how smartphones affect kids.
A Common Sense Media report found that 42% of American 10-year-olds have a smartphone. And at age 14, that number jumps to 91%. How are these devices affecting their schooling, their friendships, and their understanding of the world?
The guests on today's panel are:
- Reid Kuba, principal of William P. Jarrett Middle School in Pālolo Valley on Oʻahu
- Britt Young, a marriage and family therapist with Xplor Counseling
- Ethan Yang, an incoming senior at Kaiser High School in Hawaiʻi Kai and the 2024-2025 Hawaiʻi Board of Education student representative
