Parenting

My niece, a Nurse Practitioner who works with patients with mental health issues, said the same thing. She and her husband raised two happy, healthy, intelligent kids who never spent much time on social media.

She attributes it to peer pressure which is made 100x worse by social media and influencers. She also thinks children should not have access to their phones while in class, that many parents are in over their heads, that many young people don’t understand the concept of privacy, and children do not have enough healthy peer relationships.

It must be hard to parent today.
