These were 17 to 21 year olds on the technical college campus who are super far behind but wanted to finish school.
And I've spent now the last eight years working nationally with a number of different nonprofits and organizations thinking about not only education and social work and how kids develop, but also the workforce and higher education and thinking about the life that they're moving into when they hit adulthood.
Well, I'll tell you what my vision wasn't.
I did not think I was going to be finishing this book in the middle of a pandemic.
And so that has been this really, I mean, horrible, stressful, stretching experience for all of us.
But um, one of the things that was so interesting about wrapping up this book in a pandemic is that the whole point of it was to say.
Today's kids are different.
You know, you really coined this idea of being differently wired.
And what we're seeing is that all kids are in in ways that are really shaped by their environments and experiences, um, profoundly different than than us because of how and when they're growing up.
And um I talk about them being both disruption and digital natives, which you know we can dig into a little bit more, but that the world is also changing just as quickly and as much as it feels like.
So, you know, I don't know if you're like me, but I can feel how fast everything is changing.
And it's overwhelming and it's overloading.
And there's a lot of research and data to just back up that it actually is happening faster and more than it has in history.
And so um
You know, when the pandemic hit, it kind of typified what I was saying, in that like our kids, their whole lives have been really bookended by these major crises that have rocked us.
And yet they're these defining milestone moments, whether it's COVID, um, other economic recessions like the Great Recession, even being born in the days after nine-eleven.
Um, you know, just what that has meant.
And so the purpose of the book was really thinking back to when.
I was on the front lines of education and youth development, what I needed to know when I was working with kids, and then thinking as a parent, what I need to know raising these kids in this moment, and trying to get an updated picture of both the science and the research on.
Who are these kids?
