Bonus: Socially Confident Kids in a Screen-Filled World (Nina on "Your Child is Normal" with Dr. Jessica Hochman)
About this episode
Nina Badzin discusses with Dr. Jessica Hochman how kids can build friendships in a digital age.
In this bonus episode, I join Dr. Jessica Hochman on Your Child Is Normal to talk about how kids build real friendships in a screen-filled world. We cover what actually helps—from teaching kids to initiate plans to why proximity and in-person time matter more than ever. It’s a practical, nuanced conversation about how parents can support their kids’ social lives without over-managing. Thank you to this week's sponsor: SINCERENOTES.
