Social media is stressing parents out just as much as it’s negatively impacting their kids. Psychologist and host of the “Authentic Parenting” podcast Anna Seewaldtold CNNthat parents need to take stock of how much time they’re spending on social media. “That’s a background stressor for a lot of people in a world of many stressors — and it’s one that you can control,” she says.

Seewald also recommends parents don’t stretch themselves too thin. While it might sound and look cool to be a super parent, you don’t have to do everything. It’s okay to miss a birthday party, take some time for yourself, hire a nanny for a day, or have coffee with a neighbor. “Preserving and protecting your own energy and time is more important.”
