Summary

For a generation that has yet to experience a World War or Great Depression, today's kids are unprecedentedly unwell when it comes to their mental health. But why are we seeing these levels of mental illness, low self-confidence, and fear of growing up in a group that, based on the environment around them, should be thriving? Best-selling author of the new book, 'Bad Therapy,' Abigail Shrier, explains why the problem with our kids may be how parents are raising them. As medication and therapy become the norm, parents prioritize keeping kids happy and sheltered over teaching the importance of strength, taking on challenges, and gaining confidence to go for their goals.
