This week, we’re tackling two big questions for parents: what’s more damaging for our kids - gaming or social media? We’re joined by Dr. Arif Khan, Consultant Pediatric Neurologist to unpack the science, risks, and real-world impact of both. Then, we shift gears to financial literacy, speaking with Sophia Bhattia, Founder of Wimbledon Wealth, about why understanding money matters from an early age - and why Anne Hathaway’s comment that it’s “not cute to be financially illiterate” struck such a chord.
