Social media creates unique challenges for parents trying to navigate appropriate boundaries for their children while balancing busy lives and the pressures of modern parenting. We discuss the shocking reality of kids creating multiple accounts and posting inappropriate content while exploring the wider impact of screen time on childhood development.

• One host discovers her 13-year-old son posting inappropriate content with alcohol references on TikTok
• Children often maintain multiple accounts and "burner" profiles to hide content from parents
• Kids become obsessed with follower counts and social validation at developmentally vulnerable ages
• Even young children (ages 5-7) are sneaking screen time when adults aren't watching
• One family removed TV completely and saw dramatic improvements in children's creativity and behavior
• School-assigned computers create additional challenges for limiting screen exposure
• Parents struggle with being good role models when they themselves are frequently on devices
• Modern children's shows and entertainment often contain inappropriate messaging
• Adults use screens as convenient distractions for children when they need to accomplish tasks

Join us next week as we tackle mom guilt—why we carry it, how to stop letting it control us, and what grace really looks like.
