You guys are saying that as child counselors, you are seeing things in kids that you have not seen at all in 30 years, and it has you seriously concerned.

What has changed that is really freaking you out?

So parents are going to AI to help them parent their kids.

Yes.

Why do parents not feel equipped to parent?

There's this phenomenon of teenagers that are saying, I don't need to get my driver's license yet.

I don't really have an interest in that.

And parents are just like, okay, you don't have an interest in that.

One, why is that happening?

I don't understand kids saying like, well, I just don't feel ready or I don't feel equipped to get my license, but that's what driver's ed was for.

I didn't know either.

I didn't know.

So I'm going to driver's ed and I'm learning and then I'm like, OK, cool, I can do this.

And I'm practicing driving with other kids my age.

Why are kids not even interested in signing up for driver's ed?

And do you think it's a mistake for parents to say it's OK?

Yeah, you can just delay it or you don't need to get your license if you don't want to.

They're saying it's cringy to be in driver's ed and riding around with other kids.

Like, where is this coming from?

Like, how does this develop?
