Especially for girls, it fuels anxiety and self-doubt. Try this: Delay social media until at least high school. In the meantime, help your child connect in real life — clubs, sports, church, or service.

Eusebius, a Church historian, says a dove flew in and settled on the head of Fabian. This sign united the votes of clergy and laity, and he was chosen unanimously. Saint Fabian, pray for us.
