Parenting In a Digital World

Social media isn’t just part of our kids’ lives anymore, it’s their world. In this episode, we talk about the real impact social media is having on teenagers: comparison, cyberbullying, anxiety, and the pressure to chase likes and validation. We share personal experiences as parents trying to figure out how to protect our kids while still giving them room to grow. We also discuss monitoring phones, online predators, algorithms, and why teaching our kids their self-worth matters more than any number of followers. Parenting in the digital age isn’t easy, but conversations like this matter.
