Back to School Blues: Raising Resilient Kids In A Digital World

from Why Do People Do That? · host Stacy Pellettieri, LCSW and Heather Harten. LCSW

 Social media isn’t just a distraction; it’s shaping how our kids see themselves, handle conflict, and form relationships. As they head back to school, it’s not enough to pack their backpacks. We need to equip them emotionally and mentally to navigate the digital world. In this essential episode, I break down how to help your kids build real resilience, set healthy boundaries, and handle the pressures of online life before they walk back into those school hallways. This isn’t a “nice to know”; it’s a “must know.” Join us!   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhyDoPeopleDoThat   Visit our website: https://whydopeopledothat.com/   If you'd like to contact Stacy and Heather or learn more about their practices, visit the following sites: Long Island Counseling Services - www.longislandcounselingservices.com District Support Services - www.districtsupportservices.com  ADHD Training Center - www.adhdtrainingcenter.com     Follow the "Why Do People Do That?"
