Moms, do you shiver when your daughters constantly take selflies.

Do they mock you when you take one of yourself?

Been there, done that!

It’s worth a peek. If anything, it may make you think about how your body image and expectations for beauty might influence hers.

As generative AI becomes more present in the emoti As generative AI becomes more present in the emotional lives of young people, we may need to ask deeper questions about connection, attachment, and what it truly means to be human.
