    Raising Kids in the Age of Algorithmic Abduction with Leading Psychologist, Dr. Shefali

    We're raising children in a world our parents never had to navigate—one shaped by algorithms, social media comparison, constant stimulation, and an unprecedented pressure to perform. Dr. Shefali calls this phenomenon "algorithmic abduction": the ways technology can quietly shape our children's identities, attention, relationships, and sense of self. But while the world around our children has radically changed, many of our parenting models haven't. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Shefali explores the growing crisis facing today's boys and girls. Dr. Shefali has written two books on raising conscious boys and girls, and is on to discuss why she wrote these books now and what we can learn from them. This is an essential conversation for every parent, educator, and anyone who cares about the next generation. Please share it with your friends.   KEY TOPICS: What Conscious Parenting Really Is (03:00) Parents' Ego, Humility, and True Connection (03:40) Why Two Separate Books for Daughters and Sons (06:27) Practical Tools: Listening Without Judgment & Silent Walks (07:38) The Algorithmic Abduction of Childhood (11:03) Different Wiring of Girls and Boys, Same Tender Essence (10:01) Replacing Screen Time with Real-World Connection (15:12) Letters from Sons and Daughters to Their Parents (18:16) How Labels, Triggers, and Hormones Shape Our Kids' Selves (21:25) Parent Overload, Lost Village, and the Power of Community (29:57)   RESOURCES + BOOKS MENTIONED: Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@herstarringrole Follow on APPLE PODCASTS Follow on SPOTIFY PODCASTS Join Michele's Newsletter + Get a List of 52-Selfcare Tips GUEST INFORMATION Book: Raising Conscious Daughters and Raising Conscious Sons Website: https://www.drshefali.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/doctorshefali/   *The Her Starring Role podcast and content provided by Michele Lamoureux is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
