Do our kids stress more than we did when we were young?

Just as an example, if you feel swamped with the blessings and curses that instant technology brings to you, what about their situation? They have been born in the technology boom.

In addition, there are great disparities in the world of these children: those born into homes where they are well-taken care of and those who have experienced and lived atrocities that no adult or child should ever experience.

The stress children experience nowadays may be different to the stress kids exerienced thirty, fifty or one hundred years ago.

Back then, we would have been asked to snap out of it.

This new generation is more knowledgeable and accepting of mental health problems, medical issues and societal issues. On the other end, many worry about this generation’s work ethics, resilience and openness.
