Supporting anxious kids in a digital world: why education—not restriction—is the real answer
Mon Feb 02 2026
In a world where likes and comments feel like lifelines, where digital conversations unfold faster than emotions can catch up, our kids are navigating a reality we never had to. If you've ever wondered why your child seems more anxious than you were at their age—or why they retreat behind a screen when the world feels too much—you're not alone.
We recently sat down with licensed professional counselor Morgan Lee for an honest conversation about what anxiety looks like in today's youth, how technology is part of the picture, and what parents can do to help. This episdode is grounded in that conversation, gently unpacking some of the most pressing mental health concerns facing families today.
And maybe most importantly—it's a reminder that none of us are doing this alone.
