It is imperative that trusted adults and caregivers recognize that childhood has drastically changed with the advent of the smartphone and other devices we hand our children. The massive stressors they face are drastically different than we experienced and the ways in which they interact are at times more aggressive and conflictual because of it. The race for academic performance, athletic prowess, bullying on social media/gaming platforms and the increase in youth mental health issues such as anxiety and depression must be met with a call to action that includes front loading them with prevention and resiliency training to confront these challenging times. Presenter Katey McPherson will present ideas and strategies around resilience, coping, and stress tolerance.
