Summary

Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/ In today's Fitness Friday episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from my conversation on the Mind Pump Podcast about a crisis that most parents don't want to discuss, but absolutely must - the digital destruction of childhood. The average age a child first encounters pornography online is 10 years old. Ten. And today's kids get less sunlight than prisoners do. We also tackle the controversial but essential topic of traditional gender roles in parenting. Why do kids misbehave 900% more in front of their mothers? And how are single parents supposed to navigate providing both structure and nurturing? This isn't about being "old-fashioned" - it's about understanding that our well-intentioned move away from traditional parenting roles may be contributing to the anxiety and fragility we see in kids today. What we discuss: Why Kids Today Get Less Sunlight Than Prisoners How Pornography Creates Drug-Like Effects on Developing Brains Why Tech Creators Won't Let Their Own Kids Use Social Media The Casino Algorithm: How Apps Are Designed to Addict Children Why Kids Misbehave 900% More in Front of Their Mothers How Single Parents Can Balance Structure and Nurturing The Rise of Phone-Free Schools and Digital Detox Movements How Gen Z is Returning to Traditional Christianity for Structure Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.
