I don’t know about you, but parenting teens right now feels… different.
It’s not just “how much screen time are they getting?” anymore. It’s what they’re seeing, how fast things are changing, and how much of it is completely out of our control.
We’re raising kids in a world of AI, social media, group chats, viral trends… and honestly, it can feel like a lot. It is all so different from the world our parents navigated when raising our generation.
And the tricky part? Even when you feel like you’ve put good boundaries in place, it doesn’t stop everything.
