Are We Underprotecting Our Kids in the Virtual World?

In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz explores the second key factor contributing to rising anxiety and mental illness in today’s youth: underprotection in the virtual world. Drawing from The Anxious Generation, she explains the devastating impact of a phone-based childhood, highlighting four major harms: social deprivation, sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction. Elizabeth unpacks each issue through a biblical lens and encourages parents to be intentional about how digital media shapes their children’s hearts, minds, and relationships.
