Social Media and Kids,  Being Dapper is Being Stoic - An OBVIOU5 Voice Episode 23

 

Parenting.   

I want to really talk about our social media, we need to educate ourselves and I know that we're growing older and parenting in that 40-year-old range right now. A lot of the social media is out there, you're not as quite in tune with it as we need to be. Whether we talking about Facebook or TikTok or Twitter or Snapchat or whatever new social media is out there right now, these are just the messaging centers where a lot of our kids are already on there and they're already sharing stuff. You need to educate yourself on where your children are, what they're posting.  

 

Mental Health  

This week we're talking about Blue Monday, I believe I've mentioned this in a podcast, last year, or even in a blog post something to that effect however I want to bring it back because I did some thinking about it this year. Blue Monday was something that was coined in 2004. So, 16 years ago is a long time in the mental health thought process and how we talk about mental health, and how we share about our mental health. Blue Monday is it a real thing? 

 

Dapper  

The rough path ahead is going to get really bumpy. We don't all have our vaccines we're still in quarantine, we're still trying to fight through the doldrums of January in a COVID era. What we need to do, being dapper is to be stoic.
