While we're trying harder than ever to be "good parents," we're accidentally raising the most fragile generation in history. In today’s Fitness Friday episode, I’m sharing an excerpt from my conversation on the Mind Pump Podcast about how to raise resilient kids.

We share the alarming statistics showing skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide among young people, while exploring how our well-intentioned parenting methods may be doing more harm than good. From the elimination of boredom to the rise of helicopter parenting, we discuss how we've shifted from a "challenge culture" to a "coddle culture" - and why that's backfiring spectacularly.

Tune in today to learn the shocking impact of smartphones and social media on childhood development, including how technology has robbed kids of essential social skills and real-world experiences that build resilience.

What we discuss:

Why Kids Are More Fragile and Anxious Than Ever Before
The Real Problem with Modern "Gentle Parenting" Culture
How We've Created a Coddle Culture vs. Challenge Culture
Why Eliminating Boredom is Destroying Children's Creativity
The Smartphone Crisis: How Technology Killed Childhood
Why 26% of Gen Z Bring Parents to Job Interviews
How Social Media Destroyed Real-World Social Skills
The Pornography Epidemic Starting at Age 10
Why Kids Need to Experience Failure and Frustration
The Connection Between Screen Time and Rising Mental Health Issues
