Season 1 | Episode 2 | Help Your Kids … with Social Media | Help Your Kids Podcast

Welcome back to Help Your Kids, the parenting podcast that’s here to support you through all the highs and lows of raising kids!

In this week’s episode, your hosts, Dr. Mish Seabrooke and Shelley Smith dive into the role that social media plays in shaping our children’s mental health.

We unpack some big questions:

• Why is social media such a powerful source of pressure for kids today?
• How does seeing fake or filtered content mess with their self-image and expectations?
• What happens when they’re exposed to things they just aren’t ready to process?
• Is social media replacing real-life relationships and meaningful connection?

Plus, we chat about the hit TV series Adolescence and how it reflects the real (and sometimes raw) experiences of growing up today, as well as sharing our takes on the ground-breaking book The Anxious Generation.

Join us as we reflect importance being present with your kids in a world that never stops scrolling, offering friendly, practical ways to help your child navigate online life without losing their real-life grounding.
