EP:91 Today on the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast I’d like to discuss something that has really been on the forefront of my mind lately…

Excessive screen time can lead to increased anxiety and decreased ability to explore and learn from mistakes.
Social media has been a major contributing factor to cyberbullying, negative self-comparison, anxiety and overall mental health in the next generation.
By prioritizing mental health in the digital age, I believe children will be better equipped to handle the challenges of growing up in a world filled with technology.
