NEW INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY ALERT: Our children are growing up surrounded by voices telling them who they are.
Social media has an algorithm. The internet has an answer. Culture has an opinion.
But none of those things can tell a child the deepest truth about their identity.
In my conversation with Dave Boden, we talked about something that reaches far beyond screen time and technology: the search for identity, purpose, and belonging.
Because underneath so much of what keeps us scrolling and searching is a longing to know: Who am I? Where do I belong? What am I here for?
As parents and the adults who love the next generation, we have an opportunity to enter those conversations—not simply by setting boundaries, but by helping our children discover that they are more than what an algorithm says about them.
They need to know their worth isn't determined by likes, followers, trends, or what the internet thinks they should become.
They need to know who they are.
And sometimes, that begins with an adult willing to sit beside them and ask the right questions.
