It can be hard to not give your children cellphones when it seems like almost all their peers have one, but is teaching children that fitting in is more important than their mental well-being the lesson parents want to teach? Rachel and Sean discuss why parents shouldn't feel guilty for gifting kids with a childhood filled with playing outside, fostering creativity out of boredom, and connecting with friends organically -- not filling their minds with content from screens.
 
They also discuss the consequences Columbia University students are facing after engaging in pro-Palestinian protests on campus, despite receiving written and verbal warnings to not participate.
