About this episode

Dr. Saranya and Dr. Pal discuss the emotional challenges faced by modern families, including parenting conflicts and the impact of screen time.

In this episode, Dr. Saranya and I speak about modern family life honestly, screen time during meals, emotionally stressful homes, parenting conflicts, teenage struggles, emotional distance between couples, and how family fights quietly affect us growing up. We also discuss parenting in the US vs India, emotional intelligence in children, relationships, boundaries, sex education, and why peaceful homes matter more than “perfect parenting.” I think many people will see their own family experiences in this conversation.
