S2E18 "If your first reaction is Freak-OUT, then you've lost them forever. " Truth Bombs: parenting in the trenches of digital hard realities with Tanner Clark

Tanner highlights the importance of shifting away from the "not my kid" mentality and recognizing that children mirror their parents' behavior, including excessive phone and social media use. It emphasizes the need for parents to create an environment where mistakes are allowed and growth is encouraged. Additionally, he suggests promoting a mindset of being creators rather than just consumers. Overall, Tanner urges parents to be mindful of their own behaviors and attitudes towards technology and to foster a supportive and growth-oriented atmosphere for their children.

Tanner has a passion for helping teenagers live their best life and empowering them to find their "One Second of Strength". He has spent 10 years working with youth and teens, learning from them, and helping them feel loved and valued. He is a TEDx speaker and is the host of "The Second of Strength" Podcast. He has appeared on ABC4's "Good Things Utah", podcasts, and for the last 5 years, Tanner has used social media for good to teach teens and parents about digital dangers and to help them "Fix their Focus" to overcome the things that are hurting their hearts and live up to their potential and pursue what matters most.
