Triple Dog Dare: Rediscovering Quality Time to Ease Youth Anxiety

We have got to get out of the social media and start having more social interaction. I want to save our kids. If I can even save one. They're lost. No one should bury their child if we don't start standing together.
What if the answer to your child's anxiety lies in something as simple as spending quality time together? In this episode of 'The Mental Tool Box', Mel, a devoted mom, shares her thoughts on how the pressures of social media and school contribute to the rising anxiety levels among young people. Drawing from her own experiences, Mel suggests that the root of anxiety is often a feeling of lost control.
She believes that by stepping away from screens and engaging in old school activities, families can create a more supportive and calming environment for their children. Mel throws down a unique challenge: a triple dog dare to leave the phones at home and join her in a pavilion event filled with classic, screen-free fun. Her goal is to help parents and kids reconnect through meaningful interactions, offering a refreshing break from the digital world.
Mel's heartfelt advice and practical solutions provide a roadmap for fostering stronger family bonds and reducing anxiety. This episode is a must-listen for any parent looking to make a positive change in their child's life.
