Our topic, “The Anxious Generation,” is an issue that strongly impacts both present and the future generations. The velocity of change over the past decade has had consequences both good and bad for our families, schools and workplaces. With technology at the root of this rapid change, life for today’s students has become a treadmill where someone keeps turning up the speed. The mental, emotional and physical impact to our youth cannot be denied as instances of anxiety, depression, eating disorders and more have escalated among them.
Parents and teachers frequently lack direction on how to help in these cases. Panic can then ensue and take hold inside the heads and hearts of students, parents and teachers alike, so together let’s bring this issue out into the light.
