Last night, Mia's mom gave her permission to watch her favorite YouTube channel, and she stayed up late watching videos. When she got to school today, she fell asleep during art class (her favorite subject). Did Mia make a healthy media choice?

• Yes. She was able to talk to her friends about the videos she watched last night.

  .

• Yes. She really needed the nap.

• No. Her choice to stay up late caused her to miss doing something she likes.

• No. She didn't watch as many YouTube videos as she wanted to.

  .

Imagine you are Mia's friend. What advice would you give her to help her have media balance?
