## Resource

This week, we're diving headfirst into the thing parents worry about more than anything else: teen mental health. Are our kids more anxious than ever, or are we just using different language now? What's the difference between being nervous, shy, anxious, sentimental, or depressed? And how much of it is connected to phones, social media, and the digital world our kids are growing up in? We talk about the realities of parenting in a world where our kids' entire social lives live on a device—and why conversations matter more than simply taking the phone away. Keywords teen mental health, social media, anxiety, parenting, phones, digital age, teenagers, mental health awareness, summer series Key topics Teen mental health and social media Impact of phones on anxiety and self-esteem Parenting strategies for digital age Understanding mental health terminology and misconceptions Hosted on Acast.
