Every generation has to navigate its own unique parenting challenges—but today, the world of social media is making it increasingly difficult for parents to authentically connect with their children. On today’s show, you’re going to learn about the challenges that boys and girls are facing in today’s digital world, and what parents can do to intentionally cultivate healthy relationships and healthy children.
Today’s guest, Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and the founder of the Conscious Parenting Movement. Her new books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters, are a parent’s comprehensive guide to helping children develop confidence, purpose, and inner power in our modern world. Dr. Shefali unpacks the unique challenges our children face today, and how we as parents can help them stay grounded and emotionally healthy.
In this interview, Dr. Shefali is diving into some of the specific differences between boys and girls and how to help them navigate today’s algorithm-driven environment. We’re discussing topics like social media, body image issues, anxiety, anger, and more. We all want our children to be whole, authentic, and healthy – and Dr. Shefali is sharing the tools you need to connect, parent, and help your children thrive. I hope you enjoy this interview with the one and only, Dr. Shefali.
