    Parenting can be hazardous to your health? Our parenting expert shared her solutions

     

    It’s a headline that caught our attention – and likely yours. The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, claims parenting can be hazardous to your health. Hazardous to your health due to the extreme stress the modern-day parent is experiencing. He believes the economic state of our nation, the influence of social media, the mental health crisis among youth, and personal parenting expectations are all contributing factors to growing stress and anxiety among parents.

    Simply put, Dr. Murthy believes parents and caregivers are facing more than they can handle with little support. In his advisory, he wrote, “Chasing these unreasonable expectations has left many families feeling exhausted, burned out, and perpetually behind.” But he says there are solutions, and he put out a call to action. He believes if people, parents, and communities act now, we can work together to lift each other’s burdens.

    Studio 5 Parenting Contributor Heather Johnson shared her thoughts on the news.

    'Let them know they're not alone.' Help someone you love through the grieving process in 8 ways

    When a loved one is experiencing heartache and grief, it’s natural to question how you can best show up for them. Is it dropping off dinner? Is it a phone call? Is it a simple text saying, “I love you”?

    Julie Taylor, who knows grief well after the loss of her newborn son Simon, believes that what’s most important is that you do or say something.

    You can find Julie’s coloring book on her Instagram, @theJulieTaylor, where the link is available in her bio.

    The Rise of the Trad Wife: A Shift from Girl Boss to Homemaker

     

    There was the "Girl Boss," and now... there's the "Trad Wife." Gen Z is ditching one for the other.

    The term Girl Boss has circulated the internet for a few years. It's used to describe a woman who is successful and ambitious in her career, especially as a businesswoman or entrepreneur.  Now it appears the "Trad Wife," which is short for "Traditional Wife," is the new label to embrace, at least on social media. It describes a married woman who embraces traditional gender roles. Her full-time job is homemaking. As we consider the pendulum shift, it’s a natural curiosity to ask why?

    Cami Packer, a passionate advocate for home and family life, shared her thoughts on this new wave of interest.

    The Social Media Dilemma: 3 moms share how they approach this hot topic in their homes

    In today’s digital age, the question of when and how to introduce children to social media is a hot topic among parents.

    Celebrity couple Chip and Joanna Gaines have set a hard stance. “Our house rule is you get social media the summer before you go to college. So, we have that time to kind of work through things,” Joanna told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on Today’s 3rd hour.

    They aren’t alone. Actress and TV host Drew Barrymore says no to phones. She passionately expressed to her live studio audience, “It is amazing to have wanted so badly for my kids to love me and to love their environment and feel safe, and none of us want our children to resent us, and we don’t want to be their enemy. It is such a hard choice to say, I don’t care if you hate me for this. I don’t care if you’re mad at me for this. I know that I’m doing the right thing by you and I accept your anger.”

    The research supports the celebrities concerns too. The book, “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt has been at the center of this conversation. The author claims the decline of a play-based childhood and the rise of a phone-based childhood has contributed largely to the significant increase in anxiety and depression among young people. He advises parents to hold off on smartphones until high school and say no to social media until 16.

    But what is the everyday mom doing with this somewhat new, concrete information?

    In a recent roundtable discussion with three mothers we admire, friends of the show Kelly Jensen, Emily Bell McCormick, and Shima Baughman shared their experiences and perspectives on social media use and phone privileges in their homes.
