"It is too easy to cave to the pressure of allowing younger teens or tweens social media. As mental health experts, we urge you...RESIST! Any potential benefits are far outweighed by the risks. Among other concerns, we are seeing a growing body of evidence that digital use, especially social media, decreases attentions spans and can lead to an uptick of ADHD diagnosis, sometimes referred to as 'Acquired ADHD." - Shelby DeBause, LMFT, Virginia.

The digital revolution has become a vast, unplanned experiment—and children are its most exposed participants. As ADHD diagnoses rise around the world, a key question has emerged: could the growing use of digital devices be playing a role?

“When parents create a space where their adult children can be themselves without commentary on their lifestyle, parenting choices, or that tattoo they got last month, something beautiful happens. The kids actually want to share their lives with you.”

After years of strained, clock-watching visits from her adult children, one parent discovered the surprisingly simple shifts that transformed her home from an obligation into the place her kids actually look forward to being.

For anyone side-eyeing Christmas like, “Oh… you again?" this is for you!
If the holidays feel heavy instead of magical, you’re not broken—you’re human. Family dynamics, grief, financial stress, loneliness, old memories dressed up as tinsel… it’s a lot. Even the most “joyful season” can poke tender places. You are not alone!

So here’s your gentle permission slip:
✨ You don’t have to be cheerful.
✨ You don’t have to attend every gathering.
✨ You don’t have to explain your boundaries.
✨ You do get to rest, opt out, cry, laugh, or feel absolutely nothing.

Take breaks. Lower expectations. Eat the cookies for survival, not tradition. And remember—this season passes, even if it crawls.

And if the weight feels like too much to carry alone, help is available. Reaching out for counseling is not a failure—it’s a form of self-respect. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or in crisis, you can call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline—free, confidential, and available 24/7.

If Christmas is hard this year… seek support, compassion, and care—exactly as you are. You are not alone!
