We Need to Shore Up the Ecology Around the Family

We don’t have to live this way. We don’t have to live in a country in which the parts with intact families are way ahead of the other parts and are pulling farther ahead at ever accelerating rates. The question is what is to be done? How do we get from here—a place of unformed or fragile families—to there—an America in which more and more children grow up with loving and stable foundations?

Study: Time on Screens Has Little Impact on Kids’ Social Skills

Despite the time spent with smartphones and social media, young people today are just as socially skilled as those from the previous generation, a new study suggests. Researchers compared teacher and parent evaluations of children who started kindergarten in 1998 — six years before Facebook launched — with those who began school in 2010, when the first iPad debuted.

Teen Dating Abuse: A More Common Problem Than Parents Realize

Most people think of domestic abuse as something that happens to adults, and more so, that it involves married couples. But the reality is that abusive teen relationships are much more common than most parents realize. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey looking at teen dating found that 1 out of 11 girls and 1 out of 15 boys have experienced physical dating violence in the past year, and 1 out of 9 girls have experienced sexual dating violence.

Helping Teens Make Room for Uncomfortable Emotions

A new poll conducted by Common Sense Media and Survey Monkey shows, not surprisingly, that most adolescents are worried that the coronavirus will affect their family’s physical or financial health. Further, nearly half of the teenagers surveyed say that they are lonelier than usual, and they fear that they are losing ground academically or in their extracurricular activities.

How to Help Teens Handle the Loss of Proms and Graduations

These important ceremonies that say “Look at you! You are growing up! We are so proud of you!” have been canceled, leaving kids with no closure. Rites of passage have vanished into thin air. Even as they feel grateful for their health, and sorry that the world is suffering in the way that it is, Generation Z feels cheated. Their losses are tangible to them. And so they are grieving.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

Resources for Connecting With Young People

Teen emotions are close to the surface because their brains are sponges for sensing and experiencing feelings. Which explains why you may be having emotional conversations during this stressful time.
