The Anxious Generation: Why are today's children so anxious and what can we do?
Manage episode 376313050 series 3341547
Do you feel there’s a general anxiety that’s been on the rise in our society – especially among young people? Many seem worried, unsettled, fearful.
And their worries seem all encompassing: school, relationships, jobs, money, their health, the economy, the environment, global instability. They worry about their future and the future of the planet.
I’m sure my friends and I had similar worries when we were young but I’m not sure our worries were as many and as consuming as they are for today’s young people.
What’s going on and what can we do about it? We take a deep dive into this issue with Jo Henderson, a clinical psychologist who’s worked with many children and young adults.
If you’re a Millennial or GenZ, or a parent of one, you’ll want to hear this conversation.
