~124~"Kids These Days" Book Review: How to Disrupt Overdiagnosis and Empower Modern Parents with Will Dobud

#ParentingTeens, #YouthMentalHealth, #OverDiagnosis In this power‑packed interview, Cheryl sits down with Dr. Will Dobit—a socially‑savvy researcher, award‑winning educator, and outdoor‑therapy pioneer—to unpack the myth of “kids these days.” Together they expose how the troubled‑teen industry, over‑diagnosis, and a flood of contradictory mental‑health advice are hurting rather than helping our teens. Will shares his own turbulent youth, the journey that led him to adventure‑therapy, and the hard‑earned lessons behind his new book Kids These Days: Understanding & Supporting Youth Mental Health. Parents will walk away with: 🔍 A clear view of why the “kids‑are‑fragile” narrative is a recycled adult story. 🛠️ Practical, low‑effort strategies you can start using TODAY to shift your home environment from “problem‑centered” to solution‑focused. 📚 A behind‑the‑scenes look at the research that shows why diagnosis and medication aren’t the only answers—and often aren’t the right ones. 🌱 Real‑world hope: stories of teens building 3‑D‑printed prosthetics, solar‑blankets, and fearless activism—proof that the next generation already has the tools to change the world. If you’re a parent of a teenager who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or just wants a smarter way to support your kid’s mental health, this episode is your launchpad.
