Dr. Jean Twenge is a psychologist, researcher, and author whose work has helped shape the national conversation around generational difference, technology, and mental health. She's the author of books including iGen and Generations, and her latest, 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World, turns years of research into a practical guide for parents navigating phones, social media, screen time, and the very real challenge of helping kids grow up in a digital world. On this episode of This Helps, Marlon talks with Dr. Twenge about what kids are really up against, why boundaries matter, and how parents can help protect connection, attention, and real-life experience.
