Ep. 139 ROUNDTABLE (Part 1): Navigating the Digital Age & Raising Resilient Kids
How do we raise emotionally healthy, confident kids in a world dominated by screens, selfies, and social media? In Roundtable #2 of 2025, our expert panel tackles one of modern parenting’s biggest challenges: navigating the digital age while fostering resilience in our children.
This candid conversation explores the real-life impact of social media on body image and self-perception—especially through filters and AI-generated content—and how it can fuel anxiety and compulsive behaviors in kids and teens. The panel shares powerful strategies to create daily rhythms that promote creativity, emphasize the value of face-to-face communication, and establish device-free downtime.
You’ll also hear thoughtful insights on how to talk to your kids about their digital lives, set healthy boundaries around screen use, and lead with curiosity instead of control. Plus, we dive into the tricky terrain of parental responsibility when it comes to posting our children’s photos online.
Whether your kids are toddlers or teens, this episode will leave you with fresh ideas and a renewed sense of confidence for raising resilient kids in today’s tech-heavy world.
These are the top three things you will learn from this podcast episode:
How to foster healthy screen habits by creating daily rhythms, encouraging device-free downtime, and setting boundaries without constant power struggles.
The impact of social media on kids’ body image and mental health, including how filters and AI can distort self-perception and trigger anxiety or compulsive behaviors.
Practical ways to strengthen real-world connections—like face-to-face communication, family dinners, and ”yes spaces” for creativity and independent play.
