Episode 34: Raising Resilient Kids: Navigating Social Media, Cultural Pressures, and Mental Health with Sidra Naeem
I am Aylin Webb; Psychologist, Anxiety Mastery Coach, Author, Accredited CBT Therapist, EMDR Therapist, Perfectionism Specialist & Public Speaker. My book "Perfectly Imperfect: Cultivating Your Self-worth In A Demanding World" is out now on Amazon. Order your copy here: https://amzn.to/46sLwys
In this episode, we dive into a conversation every parent needs to hear. My guest, Sidra Naeem, a dedicated teacher specialising in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SENCO), chaplain, and lecturer in teacher training, brings her wealth of experience to address a pressing issue: the impact of technology and social media on children's mental health. Sidra, who also serves as the King’s representative in England, shares invaluable insights from her extensive work with children and families.
We explore how social media creates an environment of competition and peer pressure, shaping children’s expectations around appearance, academic achievement, and success. Sidra explains how parents—especially those from BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) communities—often push their children toward high-paying careers, like medicine, in response to cultural pressures, but this can lead to intense stress, anxiety, and burnout.
For parents, this conversation is crucial. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the unseen pressures your children face, the role social media plays in their mental health, and how cultural expectations can add to the burden. Sidra also offers practical advice on how to create a more supportive environment at home to help your child thrive in today’s hyper-competitive world. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion that could change the way you approach your child’s well-being and future.
