Parenting has never been easy, but today’s parents are navigating screen time, social media, anxiety, endless advice, and the constant pressure to get everything right.

Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross are joined by psychologist Dr. Alexandra Licata for a thoughtful and relatable conversation about the challenges facing children, adolescents, and their parents. They talk about the rise in childhood anxiety, declining confidence, the role of screens, and why overwhelmed parents often find themselves searching for quick fixes when meaningful change takes time and consistency.

The conversation turns to practical ways parents can reconnect with their children, set limits without getting pulled into every emotional moment, and recognize small signs of progress. From spending 20 focused minutes together to learning how to validate a child’s feelings while still holding a boundary, they explore why getting back to basics can make a real difference.

They also talk about parental guilt, repairing relationships after arguments, anxiety that can look like ADHD, and why parents don’t have to handle every difficult moment perfectly. Sometimes the most important thing a family can learn is how to recover, reconnect, and move forward together.
