Parental Neglect Produced The Emotionally Resilient Generation—Gen X

from The Spectacle Podcast: The Official Podcast of The American Spectator

Join The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay as they discuss the truth behind these findings and go back to the good ol’ days. Melissa and Scott share experiences from their childhood where parental watch could be described as ‘reckless’ in today’s standards. They also discuss the other factors behind the emotional vulnerability of younger generations, such as the reliance on technology and the educational system. Tune in to hear their discussion!
