You might notice:
- Mood swings after screen time
- A drop in motivation
- Obsession with likes or follower counts
- Constant self-comparison
- Trouble sleeping
These are signs your child may be emotionally overstimulated or under-connected to their real self.
What to try:
✔ Mirror what you observe without judgment: “I’ve noticed you seem down after scrolling—what’s going on inside?”
✔ Invite them into co-regulation: take a walk, do breathwork, or share something real together.
You are the reset button they don’t even know they need.
