167. What Shortened Summer Breaks and Bulletproof Backpacks Are Doing to Our Children's Mental Health
04 Sep 2025
In this power-packed 5-minute episode, I'm diving into some eye-opening reasons why our children are experiencing higher levels of anxiety today. I'll share three major factors that might surprise you: how shortened summer breaks (now less than 2 months vs. the 3+ months we had as kids) are robbing children of crucial development time, how our phone-obsessed culture is rewiring their peripheral vision and social connections, and the reality that bulletproof backpack sales are projected to hit $30 billion by 2032.
