I love the idea of teens who feel that it's awkward to go up to other teens while on vacation or more unstructured settings, just using the opportunity of being present for organic introductions to happen. I'm getting to witness this firsthand on a cruise in Alaska where I remind my kids that if you hang out long enough near enough people and you're not on your phone someone's going to come up and start talking to you.4 days ago
Interesting take about today's youth
Haidt fails to note the remarkable truth. Gen Z is in fact embracing a new, more open and honest relationship with their mental health, one that destigmatizes the issue so that it can be addressed. This is leading to more people reporting their mental health challenges and seeking support, and contributing to the rising numbers of reported cases. More effective diagnoses and increased connection to care are both good by any measure. As an educator, I feel an obligation to support Haidt on his personal learning journey. And as someone who has actually worked with Gen-Zers, I can tell you, the kids these days are more than alright.4 days ago
