The Rise in Child/Teen Anxiety. What Caused it? Who is to Blame - Kids or Parents?

The Best Paragraph I've Read: The childhood mental-health crisis risks becoming self-perpetuating: “The worse that the numbers get about our kids’ mental health—the more anxiety, depression, and suicide increase—the more fearful parents become. The more fearful parents become, the more they continue to do the things that are inadvertently contributing to these problems.” This paragraph comes from an article in the Atlantic by Kate Julian titled: "What Happened to American Childhood?" https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/05/childhood-in-an-anxious-age/609079/ Zac and Don discuss the topic of rising child/teen anxiety in America.  They share their experiences as both parents and educator.  They comment on the wealth of examples, causes, and solutions that this extraordinary article provides. Anyone who is a parent, educator, or has a relationship with young people should read this article!  Then you should of course listen to the podcast!
