Episode 173 - Scroll Fast, Think Less

In this episode, Loree and Lauren tackle the ultimate parenting puzzle: how to raise kids in a world where TikTok dances, Snapchat streaks, and Instagram filters reign supreme. Unpack the impact of social media on kids' mental health, especially the younger generations who might be more "screen time" than "playground time" these days. And yes, they’ll chat about the proposed laws on regulating kids’ access to social media — because, apparently, there’s a lot of adults trying to figure out what’s best for our kids. Loree and Lauren also emphasize the importance of good ol’ fashioned parenting: setting screen-time boundaries, teaching kids to see through the filter (literally), and making sure they still spend time outside — you know, where the Wi-Fi doesn’t reach. They dive into the rising anxiety among teens and how parents can step up, be proactive, and remind their kids that, yes, life outside the screen can still be pretty great. So, if you’ve ever wondered if your kid knows more about social media than you (they do) or if you’re stressing over how to balance screen time with outdoor play (you should), this episode is for you.
