    Why Dr. Becky Will Make You Rethink Your Approach to Building Your Kid's Confidence (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As a mom of two girls, confidence is one of those things I am constantly (maybe obsessively?) thinking about. It runs through so many of my parenting decisions. Am I building them up enough? Am I making them feel secure in who they are? Is this thing I’m saying right now going to be the thing they talk about in therapy 20 years from now? But I also wonder how much of this is even within my control. No matter what we tell them at home, we eventually have to send them out into a world full of othe

    Parents Who Do This on Their Phones May Be Affecting Their Kids' Gaming Habits (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I spend a lot of time telling my kids to get off screens while I am, inconveniently, staring at a screen. Sometimes I have a legitimate excuse. I work remotely, which means my laptop and phone are basically extensions of my hands. Sometimes I’m answering an email while making dinner or checking Slack from the couch. But other times? I am absolutely not working. I am reading a text, checking Instagram, looking up one thing that somehow becomes 17 things, or doomscrolling through news I did not ne

    Remember When Kids Just Went Outside? Jonathan Haidt Wants to Bring That Back (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There was a time when “playing with friends” didn’t require checking three family calendars, texting four parents, figuring out who was driving, and setting a pickup time. You just went outside. Maybe you knocked on a neighbor’s door. Maybe you rode your bike around until you found someone. Maybe you ended up sitting on a curb with a bunch of kids doing something random, which somehow, was still fun. I recently wrote about wanting my daughter to have a ‘90s childhood, and this concept that Jonat

    Meta Is Putting New Protections in Place to Keep Your Kids Safe (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If you’ve ever told your kid to get off Instagram only to hear “one second” approximately 47 times, Meta‘s latest announcement may be of interest. The company has agreed to a major new set of protections for teens on Instagram and Facebook, including one change parents will probably notice immediately. Kids will have a default two-hour daily limit across the two apps. And that’s not all. SheKnows joined a call with Meta on Thursday, where Antigone Davis, Meta’s VP and Global Head of Safety, expl

    If Your Kid Melts Down Every Day After School, This Might Be Why (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Your kid’s teacher says they had a great day. They followed directions. Finished their work. Got along with their classmates. Maybe they even earned a coveted “great listener” sticker. Then they walk through your front door and completely lose it. Suddenly, they’re sobbing because you bought the wrong crackers, screaming at their sibling for existing too close to them or responding to a perfectly reasonable question like you’ve personally ruined their life. For parents, the disconnect can be baf
