For this generation, social media is HUGE and I feel it has got to the point where they can’t live without it but at the same time, are struggling to live with it. It hooks them in and creates anxiety for them when they are in it, chasing perfection and constantly comparing themselves to others. And at the same time, they are anxious when they are off it for the fear it creates of missing out. FOMO is rampant. So how do we manage it? We have to understand it. And then there’s the video games and everything that comes with that, including gambling. Having read The Tech Diet, I confess to being ignorant regarding online gambling and the amount of it. It’s not to be sniffed at and be blissfully unaware of. You must know about this stuff if you want to be able to help your kids navigate it. Curious? Tune in as I discuss chapters 3 and 4 in the book: The Psyche Science of Social Media and Is your Child Gambling Online?
