It’s painful to face, but we can’t change it until we do: We are raising the “anxious generation.” Over the last decade, mental health problems are soaring among youth. Join ParentMap and Kent School District for an eye-opening virtual Q&A with renowned social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of “The Anxious Generation.” In this live ParentEd Talk, Haidt will explore the factors contributing to this epidemic and what we can do to change it. It’s time to unplug and reclaim childhood. Sign up for free using this link: https://bit.ly/3Y68VnQ
