Show Notes
There's renewed pressure on the Government to get the ball rolling on a social media ban for Kiwi teens.
Last year, Australia banned social media for under-16s and it's inspired other countries to consider implementing similar measures.
Triple P NZ manager Jackie Riach says it's too early to see the full impact of Australia's ban, but parents are reporting positive results so far.
"The ban is one thing - what Australia did do alongside the ban was implement some parenting support, so I'm reporting the data from the parenting support, which is great."
