FOMO isn’t just a buzzword — it’s quietly making kids anxious, angry, and emotionally disconnected.

This episode of Balmurti Online shines a light on how children today are absorbing pressure from what they see online — vacations, gadgets, milestones — and how a single social media post can spiral into resentment, sadness, and low self-worth.

Vibha Pathak walks us through real-world examples, including teenage cases from her own clinic, to show how comparison culture is quietly shifting how children think, feel, and behave.

🎧 A must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone raising children in the digital age.

Article: What Kind of Echo Are You Leaving for Your Child

Children rarely follow what we say. They copy how we live. This episode from Balmurti Online goes beyond parenting tips. It asks a powerful question: What kind of echo are you leaving behind in your child’s heart?

Through moving reflections on tradition, celebration, family rituals, and how we treat our parents, Manisha Shukla (Ojaswini) reveals how legacy isn’t made in grand moments — but in daily life. What you say, how you sit, how you celebrate Diwali, how you speak to your elders — all of it becomes the voice your child carries into the future.

🎧 A must-listen for any parent or grandparent who wants to raise a child not just with knowledge — but with memory, warmth, and rootedness.

Two girls. Two different lives. One shared sorrow.

This Balmurti Online episode tells the quiet story of Jamna and Vimala — one raised with struggle, the other with luxury. Yet both feel empty. Why? Because they’ve learned to see only what they lack.

Through rich storytelling and emotional insight, Taraben Modak shows us how even well-meaning parents unknowingly teach dissatisfaction — through comparison, status, and unspoken expectations. The result? Children who are loved, but not fulfilled.

🎧 A heartfelt listen for every parent who wants to raise a child that feels enough — as they are.
