So when you share this perfectly curated image on Instagram and other moms see it and they feel jealous and they think, I don't have it all together. Like he hasn't been and this mom's going. So every single person we talked to had some sort of anecdote or some sort of story where they maybe felt inadequate or they engaged in upward or downward comparison via social media, but none of them had it all together.
Ever thought about how the pandemic has changed the way families use social media? This episode of 'The Mayo Lab Podcast' dives into that very topic. Dr. Amanda Bradshaw and Dr. Marquita Smith, both from the University of Mississippi, share their research on how mothers have managed social media use at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. They talk about the balancing act of work, parenting, and the mental health impacts of increased screen time on both moms and kids.
The conversation is filled with real-life stories and challenges faced by mothers who became primary caregivers overnight. It also touches on the supportive communities that social media can offer during tough times. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just curious about the effects of social media on family dynamics, this episode offers a refreshing look at a topic that's more relevant than ever.
