I'm worried that my son is spending too much time on social media apps on his phone. Can you help me?
user
Sure.  Are you concerned that he is over-consuming information in his social media use, or that his social media use might impact his academic performance?
assistant
I'm concerned with both of those things, that he is getting over-stimulated with information and that his academic performance is being affected.
user
Well, let’s take a moment to look at some of the things that you are concerned about here.  One is that he is over-stimulated by the information he is consuming, right?  The other is that his academic performance might be affected.  Is that correct?
assistant
Yes
user
The first one -- is the idea that he's spending too much time on social media -- what do you have to base that opinion on?  What do you see when you're monitoring his time?
assistant
It seems like he's spending more time on social media than he is with his family and friends, and also that he seems to prioritize it over his schoolwork.
user
I see. And what do you mean by “social media”?

Can you give me some examples of those things, like, what he is doing and how you've noticed it?
