BIG NEWS at Turning Teen! 🎉📱
We are so excited to welcome Jodi Tesser to the Turning Teen team!

If you’ve ever wondered How much screen time is too much? When should I get my kid a smartphone? How do I set limits without fighting about it constantly? What is all of this doing to their developing brain?! 🧠 — Jodi is your person.

Jodi is a pediatric speech-language pathologist who has spent more than a decade studying how screens and technology are affecting kids’ communication, attention, emotional regulation, relationships, and development.

And what we especially love about Jodi’s approach? This isn’t about getting rid of technology. It’s about helping our kids learn to use it without letting it control them.

Jodi will be bringing her BREAKING SCREEN ADDICTION workshops for parents and educators to Turning Teen, with practical, realistic strategies for navigating screens, smartphones, social media, and AI. 📱

Because helping our kids grow up healthy today means talking about more than puberty. It means helping them learn how to navigate the digital world, too. 💜

Welcome to the team, Jodi! We’re so happy you’re here.

➡️Interested in bringing Jodi’s workshop to your school, parent group, or community? DM us or email info@turningteen.com.

📱Camp Tip Tuesday: Reintegrating Screens 📱
Your child just spent multiple weeks screen-free. Don’t rush to change that.

🚫 Skip bringing devices to bus pickup.
🔋 Don’t pre-charge them.
🤳 Model the behaviors you want to see.

☀️ Take a moment to notice how present, light, and connected your child feels after a summer away from screens.

✨ Bonus Tip: Make sure all the adults in your home are on the same page about screen expectations. This is the perfect time to reset boundaries, create new rules, and build healthier habits—especially if your old system wasn’t working. Now is a great time to be intentional

July filled me up in so many ways, largely because I got to see so many of you ❤️

But summer…please slow down.

Is yours also going by too fast?!

You’ve heard me talk about community and DearFoundHer is one is of my favorites. I love being part of a team and finding the right community as a solo business owner took time.

Lindsay is a mastermind at providing tools and strategy, support and creating connections and community. The women in this community show up, support, advise, and life each other up.

A few days ago, Lindsay hosted a live event in New York City and I could not have been more excited to spend a day with so many women I mostly know from online who have become friends.

I was so lucky to be around a table with PR strategists, writers, speakers, career coaches, artists, organizers…all so bright, resourceful, brilliant women doing incredible work.

I left feeling more inspired and motivated. Conversations about new collabs and sharing The Village lit me up. Reminded me, even more deeply, of my why and why this work matters so much to me.

And the best challah. @nooshkneads Seriously

Being with people showing up for each other and supporting their dreams feels so good ❤️❤️
