Today we speak about how social media use impacts teens and preteens development and mental health. We discuss the more nuanced research on screen time with this group delving into how screen time alone does not tell the whole story, and the potential risks as well as benefits of social media. Similar to discussions we have had on other types of research, we also delve more into the role of individual differences in the impacts of social media on mood and other outcomes, and the importance of mindfulness around how social media impacts' oneself and mental well being. Additionally, we discuss limit setting around phone usage and how to engage one's child in the process. We also touch on Dr Nesi's current research looking at emotional regulation and phone usage, and the role of social media in our own lives as moms. Dr. Nesi is an Assistant Professor at Brown University, where she studies how technology use affects teenagers and how parents can help. She got her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Harvard University, and her PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Pregnancy is by no means necessary for motherhood, but it is necessary for life. And it's no picnic. A pregnant person can experience complications like anemia, UTIs, hypertension, diabetes, and exhaustion. Maintaining maternal health during pregnancy can be challenging, but it is integral for the health of the fetus.

Children’s Mercy Kansas City is one of four sites participating in Newborn Sequencing In Genomic Medicine and Public HealTh (NSIGHT),  which is sponsored by the NIH along with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).  NSIGHT is designed to explore the implications, challenges and opportunities associated with the possible use of genomic sequence information in the newborn period.  The emphasis of the Children’s Mercy NSIGHT project is gaining rapid access to genetic diagnostic information so that clinical care can be managed effectively for acutely ill neonates.  Early evidence of the feasibility of this approach was recently published by Children’s Mercy investigators in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.Conclusions from this study suggest that STAT-Seq, a rapid whole-genome sequencing test developed at Children’s Mercy, has the potential to alter clinical management or genetic counseling and provides a novel framework for implementing precision medicine in a level 4 NICU or PICU.Josh Petrikin, MD is here to discuss Genomics of Newborns.

Dr. Killen is the Director of the NICHD/NIH Graduate Training Program in Social Development (2003- present), and has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) for her research on social exclusion, moral reasoning, and intergroup attitudes. Her research has been profiled at the "NSF Highlights on Research" by the Office of Legislative and Public Affairs. She was invited to present her research at the Coalition for National Science Funding in Washington, D.C., with senators and congressional staff on social science research funded projects. In addition to her published empirical journal articles and book chapters, her book on morality in everyday life won the outstanding book award from the American Educational Research Association. Dr. Killen serves as Associate Editor for the journal Child Development, and is the former Chair of the Equity and Justice Committee for the Governing Council of the Society for Research in Child Development. Commissioned by Anderson Cooper, Dr. Killen conducted a study on children's racial bias for a set of stories aired on CNN AC360, "Kids on Race: The Hidden Picture" in April, 2012. Dr. Killen's research areas of expertise include children's and adolescents' social and moral development, peer relationships, social exclusion, prejudice and bias, morality and theory of mind, children and the media, and the role of school environments on development.

Moral judgments involve the understanding of fairness, justice, and equality. How do these judgments emerge in development? While new research has revealed the origins of morality, few studies have examined the role of intergroup relationships for formulating notions about fairness. Increasingly, there has been new evidence that the ability to apply morality to the outgroup exists in early development, but it appears to be complex. The challenges associated with applying moral judgments to members of outgroups include understanding group dynamics, the intentions of others who are different from the self, and having the capacity to challenge stereotypic expectations of others who are different from the ingroup. In this talk, I will discuss current findings, guided by theories from ethics as well as developmental and social psychology. Research with children provides a window into the complexities of moral judgment and raises new questions which are ripe for investigations into the emergence of morality and its developmental trajectory.
