Why Social Media Is Causing an Anxiety Epidemic in Children

Child anxiety is rising at a rate experts call unprecedented — and social media is at the center of it. In this episode we look at why children as young as 6 are showing stress symptoms, what's driving the "falling behind" obsession in parents, and what the science says.

Tvarita Ayer Vemuri reveals the shocking truth: children who are pushed hardest don't outperform peers by adulthood—they show higher anxiety and damaged relationships with learning. Plus, how to let your kids be mediocre (and why that's actually brilliant).
