Trust is at the heart of every parent-child relationship, but in today’s digital world, it’s more fragile—and more important—than ever. What happens when trust is tied to unrealistic expectations, like "I trust you not to see anything bad online"? And what do kids do when they feel they’ve broken that trust—without meaning to?

In this final episode of Season 2 of Sip the Tea, we dive into what trust really means to children, how misplaced trust can close the door to honesty, and how parents can create safe spaces for real, open conversations—even when things go wrong.

We explore how to build trust without fear, how to repair it when it’s broken, and why allowing space for mistakes might be the greatest trust-builder of all.

Thank you for joining us for this season of conversations, connection, and growth. Let's keep raising kids who feel safe, heard, and deeply trusted.

With social media amplifying every highlight of every day, it’s no wonder kids today feel like they’re always missing out. FOMO—the fear of missing out—can impact their mental health, friendships, and even their self-esteem.

In this episode of Sip the Tea, we explore how FOMO affects children emotionally and socially, why it feels so overwhelming in the digital world, and practical strategies parents can use to help their kids shift from comparison to confidence. We share real-world tips for building gratitude, teaching self-awareness, and encouraging healthier digital habits at home.

Join us for an insightful conversation about how to help our kids find joy in their own journey—and stop measuring themselves against everyone else’s highlight reels.

What does privacy really mean to kids growing up in a world of oversharing? From personal data to online footprints, children are constantly giving away information—sometimes without realizing the consequences. But privacy isn’t just about protecting data—it’s also about teaching kids the importance of personal boundaries, consent, and digital self-awareness. In this episode, we discuss how to help children understand what should and shouldn’t be shared, why privacy settings aren’t enough, and how to instill habits that will protect them for years to come. Because in an era where everything is public, helping kids reclaim their right to privacy is more important than ever.
