390: Parenting in a TikTok World: What Moms Need to Know About ADHD & Anxiety with Dr. Lisa Damour

Ever wonder if your kid's brain is turning to mush because they’ve been scrolling TikTok for two hours straight... again? You’re not alone—and before the guilt spiral kicks in, take a deep breath. In this episode, psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Lisa Damour helps us cut through the noise and panic around screen time, ADHD, and anxiety. She shares why the real culprit might not be the screen itself, but what it’s replacing—like sleep and in-person connection. You’ll learn what’s actually worth worrying about (spoiler: it’s not every app), how to set realistic screen rules without starting World War III, and the one simple test to know if your kid’s screen use is truly a problem. This is the calm, research-backed reassurance every modern mom needs. Resources We Shared: Ready to ditch the chaos?
