Summary
Is the digital world quietly reshaping our kids’ mental health? TikTok and Instagram aren’t just apps, they’re where our kids compare, perform, and define themselves. The way they consume content can impact anxiety, self-worth, sleep, and overall well-being. As parents, we need to understand how to guide our kids without shaming them.
