About this episode

This episode discusses how FOMO is affecting children's mental health and emotional well-being in the digital age.

Writer: Vibha Pathak FOMO isn’t just a buzzword — it’s quietly making kids anxious, angry, and emotionally disconnected. This episode of Balmurti Online shines a light on how children today are absorbing pressure from what they see online — vacations, gadgets, milestones — and how a single social media post can spiral into resentment, sadness, and low self-worth. Vibha Pathak walks us through real-world examples, including teenage cases from her own clinic, to show how comparison culture is quietly shifting how children think, feel, and behave. 🎧 A must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone raising children in the digital age. ________________________________________ 🔑 Key Takeaways: What FOMO looks like in real-life behavior and health symptoms How social media is reshaping self-worth and expectations Why even “happy” kids might be silently anxious Simple ways to talk about digital life with your child The power of gratitude as an antidote to constant comparison ________________________________________👉 Please like, share, and subscribe to our channel!
