Outlines
📈 子どもの健康と学校の結びつき
この段落では、子どもの健康、特に学校での状況と、それがどのように社会メディアやテクノロジーの使用と重なるかについて話されています。青春期医療医として、COVID-19の大流行期間中には、患者の精神衛生問題が目立つ増加を観測しました。診療所でのデータや全国の他の青春期・精神衛生サービスの報告によると、需要が倍増したと報告されています。ティーンはうつ病や不安障害、関係構築や発展の混乱に苦しんでおり、それが学校や家庭、クリニックでさまざまな形で表れています。また、発達障害のある子どもたちやADHD、学習の差異を持つ子どもたちと働く発達行動小児科医の視点から、学校でのストレスや仮想授業、または教室への復帰による影響についても触れています。
📱 教育者によるテクノロジー使用のアプローチ
この段落では、教育者がどのようにして学校での子どもたちのテクノロジー使用を管理するかについて語られています。教育者は、子どもたちのテクノロジー使用の背景や行動の意図を理解することが重要だと強調しています。彼らは、クラスルームやスポーツチームでルールやコミュニティのガイドラインを共有することで、テクノロジーの使用を管理するいくつかのケースを経験しています。研究によると、多くの11歳から17歳の生徒が学校日中に少なくとも一度は携帯電話を使用し、それが彼らの友人と連絡を取るためであったり、学校が負担が重いと感じられた時に逃げるためであったりすることがわかっています。また、通知の管理や不要な通知のオフにする方法についても話されています。
💡 技術と教育の調和
最後の段落では、技術と教育の調和について話されています。教育者が早い段階から技術の使用について家族と話すよう求められる一方で、親も教室でのテクノロジーの使用量を判断しがちです。教育者と他の関係者が協力して、子どもたちがテクノロジーと健康的な関係を築く方法を学ぶことができると期待されています。卓越のセンターは、教育者がこのようなトピックについて話す言葉やツールを提供し、家族がメディアの使用量を判断しないように、問題解決と強みを語ることが中心としたアプローチを促進することを目指しています。

so let's talk a little bit about the
intersection of child health and schools
and how that intersects as well with
social media and Technology use I'll say
as an adolescent medicine physician we
have seen a real increase in mental
health concerns among our patients which
really peaked during the pandemic I can
share in our adolescent medicine clinic
alone our numbers doubled to tripled and
we're seeing data from around the
country that many other Adolescent and
Mental Health Services just saw such an
increased demand we know that teens are
struggling with depression with anxiety
With A disruption of patterns in their
relationship building and development
due to the pandemic and we're seeing
that come out in so many different ways
at school at home and even in our
clinics what do you seen among younger
kids so I'm a developmental behavioral
pediatrician and I work with kids who
have autism ADHD learning differences so
we really see when kids are struggling
in the school setting we often hear
about it uh from families and that has
definitely risen uh since the pandemic
and virtual schooling as well as the
return to the classroom kids were under
a lot of stress from so many different
factors including uh financial and
socioeconomic doors their parents are
under a lot of stress um there's just
been a lot more societal stress and
polarized arguments and I think that
kids absorb that that is natural that
they are kind of watching the world
around them and saying am I safe you
know and so one of the ways that kids
react when they're not feeling safe or
they're not feeling understood is either
with shutting down or big behaviors when
they show big behaviors in the classroom
that can lead to disciplinary action or
suspension ion and and a lot of teachers
have expressed to us that they're seeing
kids feel a lot more
disregulated not having a strong social
skills or problem solving skills and
that this has been kind of a cross from
all the way from preschool up to the
high school years so uh it's natural for
us to wonder what role technology is
playing because kids had so much more
technology use during the pandemic we
know some of it was pretty positive that
they were connecting with family members
or they were watching educational
programming but some of it was not as
productive um or research has shown has
led to heavier media habits even after
pandemic restrictions were lifted so
kids just got in the habit of using
videos more video games uh their phones
or social media now when it comes to the
intersection of social media and mental
health in middle schoolers and high
schoolers what are the biggest things
you see or that you would want teachers
to be aware of I think that one pattern
we see is that there isn't an absolute
pattern that every kid is experiencing
which is so true about child development
in general but I think we see everything
from teens who really want to keep their
phone close and engage in checking
behaviors and anxiety-driven behaviors
are their parents okay is there going to
be another shutdown is there going to be
violence uh we also see kids who have a
hard time self-regulating and wanting to
use their phone to calm themselves or to
distract themselves and uh so those
behaviors can be interpreted in many
different ways uh but it a lot of it has
roots in and struggling with their own
well-being what I love about the way you
describe that and that we're really
trying to focus on at our Center of
Excellence on social media and youth
mental health is that you're wondering
about the child's motivations for using
their phone or being on technology what
is it about their emotional state that
is driving a behavior because when
you're a parent or teacher all you're
seeing is the behavior you're seeing oh
they're checking their phone again or
they're just obsessed with it or they're
they're withdrawing from me and they're
just on their phone but really to
support youth mental health we need to
wonder about what's going on in that
child's mind uh I know that's hard for
busy teachers and administrators to do
on a child by child level um but I
wonder also if there's things that can
be done in the classroom to help kids
reflect on their emotional relationship
with technology what is it that's
driving me to my phone is that helping
or did it just distract me and now I
feel more lost or disorganized and um
what are the places that kids are
seeking out online that actually give
them really positive
affirming uh experiences and which are
the ones that sometimes are great but
sometimes feel like a waste of time so
you know how how can we as adults try to
think more about what this Behavior
means when we do see it say in school I
think building on what you said I think
centering on the kid and where the kid's
head is at that moment and I think
educators are so uniquely skilled in
managing large groups of kids whereas we
as providers have the luxury of usually
one patient at a time but I think that
centering on where is that kid and
what's what's behind that behavior and
we have seen cases where uh some
educators are in some types of groups or
organizations or sports teams there'll
be an open conversation about what are
standards of behavior and how do we want
to have some shared Community guidelines
for how we're going to use or not use
these tools so acknowledging that if the
phone's there there's going to be a
compulsion possibly for some kids to
reach for it not saying that it's all
bad or all good but establishing some
Community guidelines in some cases can
be helpful but every classroom and every
culture within that classroom is
different so this is a unique challenge
for educators yeah we recently did a
study tracking uh 11 to 17 year-olds
phones over the course of a week and
found that uh lots of them picked up
their phone at least once during their
school day which makes sense but some
kids were spending hours on their phone
during a typical school day um and we
interviewed high schoolers to ask them
tell us about this what does this mean
why are kids on their phone in school uh
the usual reason was for my friends we
need to coordinate I want to keep in
touch with them kids it's it's
developmentally normal and adaptive for
teenagers we used to pass notes exactly
to want that connection in the middle of
your day it's it's thrilling it's fun
it's affirming who you are and who your
your peer group is they also told us
though that sometimes it can be a
procrastination or an escape technique
if school's feeling like too much it's
like well let me just go get a break and
look at some Tic Tac or play a video
game because it calms my brain down one
kid said it resets me a little bit so
that's an important idea for for schools
is do you have other ways that kids
reset when they're feeling overwhelmed
uh and they can regulate um another
thing kids told us is notifications are
a lot also and many of them have
strategies for turning off notifications
or filtering who notifications are from
but that could be something that
classrooms could do too if you do allow
kids to have their phones having ways to
set do not disturb or turning off
unnecessary
notifications um and if you're a teacher
who uses uh a technique like everyone
puts their phone in a bag uh at the
front of the classroom or their stricter
rules still use that as an experiential
learning opportunity like for kids how
did that feel to be away from your phone
did did you get used to it over time did
you uh feel anxious about it and why I
think that these are nice teachable
moments of course if you're a teacher
who has the bandwidth to uh to think
about it but there are curricula
available um to to give teachers the
words and tools to talk about these
topics one thing I really love about the
work we're able to do in the center of
excellence is that I feel like for so
long pediatricians have been trying to
solve many of these issues in our Silo
and Educators in their Silo and coaches
or other folks who are so important in
the lives of kids are solving in their
Silo and I think we have the opportunity
to try to really bring in questions and
problem solve together and try to come
up with some approaches that are so
child centered but can apply to all
these really important groups and kids
lives yeah as we've started this work
with the center I've gotten more and
more questions from Educators especially
early Ed or Elementary School age saying
Help Us figure out how to talk to
families about tech use because it's
such a uh tricky topic parents feel
judged really easily uh or parents are
judging the amount of tech that's used
in the classroom and it can just be too
hot of a topic where people don't know
how to communicate about it so that is
something we're paying a lot of
attention to um and I I hope that the
center is able to both give Educators
some language and some maybe some tip
sheets maybe some other things to send
home to say here's how we do this in the
classroom how we're trying to teach kids
to have healthy relationships with
technology and here's some ways you can
carry that forward at home um instead of
just feeling like we're judging families
for what your your kids are on media too
much at home or you know I would love
for it to be more problem solving and
strength spased language that's saying
like we know sleep is so important here
are some tips to make you know the
balance between technology and sleep a
little bit easier for kids who are
struggling in
school
