The research has gone viral. Psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt is calling for parents to make a change. His recent book, "The Anxious Generation," explains why our children need less tech and more real life. He says their mental health depends on it.

He claims, "We have overprotected children in the real world and underprotected them in the virtual world."

Psychologist Dr. Todd Corelli focuses on the overprotection. He shares how we can safely expose our kids to the "real world," and how to strike the balance between granting independence and keeping kids protected.

We all do it, likely every day. Maybe you forward a meme to a friend that make them laugh out loud. Or you send your sister an old photo you came across. Or you drop a "happy birthday" note on Facebook. These small actions have big meaning. It's called Pebbling, and the idea comes from a surprise subject... penguins!

Anna Macfarlane shared three ways she considers “pebbling” online.

One marriage issue is universal: no two partners want the same amount of sexual intimacy at the same time. According to Dr. Liz Hale, there is always a higher desire partner and a lower desire partner.

Dr. Liz shares that desire discrepancy is not the problem. The problem is what we think about our intimacy imbalance and how we manage it.

Studio 5 Parenting Contributor Heather Johnson shares how you can find the right balance.
