S2E20 - Talking to your child about FOMO (The Fear of Missing Out)
Manage episode 480847076 series 3520004
With social media amplifying every highlight of every day, it’s no wonder kids today feel like they’re always missing out. FOMO—the fear of missing out—can impact their mental health, friendships, and even their self-esteem.
In this episode of Sip the Tea, we explore how FOMO affects children emotionally and socially, why it feels so overwhelming in the digital world, and practical strategies parents can use to help their kids shift from comparison to confidence. We share real-world tips for building gratitude, teaching self-awareness, and encouraging healthier digital habits at home.
Join us for an insightful conversation about how to help our kids find joy in their own journey—and stop measuring themselves against everyone else’s highlight reels.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this possible and to Elliott Kotze for sharing his invaluable insights. You can reach him at www.muizenbergpsychology.co.za
