Episode 9: Digital Babysitters & Tiny Addicts
🎧 Trigger Warning: This episode discusses internet addiction, parental burnout, and the mental health impact of early screen exposure in children.

Welcome to This Might Get Heavy, the podcast where we unpack real experiences, hard truths, and the messy but beautiful process of healing.

In this episode, we’re diving into:
📱 How screens have become the new babysitters for a generation of kids
🧠 The effects of unlimited internet access on attention, self-worth, and mental health
👨‍👩‍👧 The challenges parents face trying to set digital boundaries while juggling everything else
🌐 The illusion of “connection” in a world where kids are more plugged in but emotionally disconnected
💡 Ways families can reclaim balance and raise more mindful, media-literate kids

We’re not here to judge; we’re here to reflect, question, and understand how we got here. Because technology isn’t the enemy… disconnection is.

🎧 Tune in for an honest conversation about parenting in the digital age, protecting kids’ mental health, and breaking the cycle of screen dependency, one real talk at a time.
