Late into the night, a lot of the time, um

unbeknownst to the vast majority of parents.

Um so there's this empathy that I really admire in them that I do not remember having when I was a kid.

I think I highlight that in the book.

So but I think they are taking on emotional challenges that their young minds are entirely unprepared to take on.

And that part worries me quite a bit for these kids because whether they're prepared or not, they're they're taking them on.

And um and I think they're doing it in a real stealth way that we moms and dads are having a very hard time tracking

And so when our child comes to us with attitude, we assume that's attitude.

We assume that's defiance as opposed to the accumulation of all this psychic trouble that they're carrying around.

Absolutely.

And um and and they're m so much more socially aware in part because of all the inform a uh information they have access to, which is in effect all the information.

I mean, you know, now that that that you know they're carrying the internet around in their hands and a lot of kids are exceptionally well informed, so if something's going on somewhere on the planet

uh they're they're aware if there is suffering happening and they feel that in a way that I think a lot of us when we were teenagers were kind of blissfully unaware of.

You know, there's that idea that those teen years are

almost by definition egocentric and we're working on developing a separate identity for ourselves and a sense of confidence and resilience for ourselves and that's the challenge of those years.

Well kids are working through all of that for sure, but they're also taking on, you know, all the world's problems and they're wondering like, am I ever going to make any impact on any of this?

Will I ever have the agency over any of this?

Or the awful things that I'm hearing about, am I just kind of stuck with, you know, being uh kind of enfeebled and disempowered to do anything about that?

Will I be able to take care of my family?
