#GirlTalk Podcast | Episode V: Girls + Social Media
Education
In this episode of #GirlTalk, we explore the topic of social media, and how we, as a community of parents and educators, can help girls navigate the social, emotional complexities of these powerful platforms. Part I: Dr. Autumn A. Graves, Head of School, interviews Katey McPherson, the Executive Director of the Gurian Institute, from when she visited the GPS campus to speak to our parents, faculty and staff, and, most importantly, our students about the effects of social media on girls. Part II: Current GPS parent Kristin Tremain discusses with Dr. Graves what she found helpful from Katey McPherson's presentation for parents as well as the approach she and her husband take with social media in their family and children's lives. Part III: Dr. Graves, Head of Middle School Lynne Macziewski, and Middle School Dean of Students Debbie Glasscock discuss how social media plays a role in the lives of our Middle School students and share what we can do to best support our girls.
