Are smartphones and social media harming our kids—or is the truth more nuanced? In this episode of That’s Total Mom Sense, journalist and mom of three Kanika Chadda Gupta sits down with Jacqueline Beauchere, Snapchat’s Global Head of Platform Safety, for a thoughtful, data-driven conversation about parenting teens in a digital world.
Together, they explore real online risks, how Snapchat differs from other platforms, and the tools parents can use—like Family Center and The Keys—to stay informed, involved, and proactive. This is not fear-mongering or permissiveness. It’s problem-solving, empathy, and practical guidance for families navigating tech together.
