Bad therapy : [electronic resource] : Why the kids aren't growing up. by Shrier, Abigail.; Shrier, Abigail.;

Narrator: Abigail Shrier.In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z's mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What's gone wrong with America's youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn't the kids -- it's the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers, and young people, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline, and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits. Among her unsettling findings: Talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression Social Emotional Learning handicaps our most vulnerable children, in both public schools and private "Gentle parenting" can encourage emotional turbulence -- even violence -- in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult in charge Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to bolster America's kids have backfired -- and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser.

The kids are not alright / by Wire, Philip,author.;

"News stories abound on the youth mental health crisis. Our kids are in trouble, and it's one of the few things we can agree on as a society. But what is causing the crisis? And how do we fix it? Studies show anxiety, ADHD, depression, panic attacks, and other conditions are on the rise across the entire spectrum of young people. Are all these problems coincidentally rising in lockstep? In The Kids Are Not Alright, Philip Wire explores the evidence (it's ugly) and proposes an explanation. Beginning with an accessible summary of how panic, anxiety, and related conditions work in the brain and body, the book pivots to examine how the current ecosystem of our young people has triggered such an explosion of negative mental health outcomes. Drawing from psychology, education, and health sciences, The Kids Are Not Alright offers a stark assessment of today's reality and a blueprint for better outcomes. Teachers, administrators, parents, counselors, policymakers, and anyone else concerned about our young people will all find useful strategies for improving the lives of individual children, families, schools, and communities."--Page [4] of cover.Includes bibliographical references (pages 98-103).Part I: Problems -- Panic -- Anxious much? -- An unequal burden -- Part II: Causes -- Dopamine -- Modern life -- Home again, home again -- High Dopamine lifestyle -- The Quaintbook -- Part III: Solutions -- Parts and sums -- Solutions for schools and families.

Failing our future : how grades harm students, and what we can do about it / by Eyler, Joshua R.,author.https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjqv764Q3HWDYgH3yvgWcK;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-178) and index."One of the most urgent and long-standing issues in the US education system is its obsession with grades. In Failing Our Future, Joshua R. Eyler shines a spotlight on how grades inhibit learning, cause problems between parents and children, amplify inequities, and contribute to the youth mental health crisis. Eyler, who runs the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University of Mississippi, illustrates how grades interfere with students' intrinsic motivation and perpetuate the idea that school is a place for competition rather than discovery. Grades force students to focus on rewards and distract them from exploring ideas or pursuing interests beyond what they'll be tested on. In fact, grades significantly impede the learning process. They are also significantly affecting children's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation have spiked, and academic stress tied to grades is a leading cause of this escalation. Eyler shares success stories of grading reform efforts that are already under way as an antidote to the harms caused by the practices currently used in educational institutions. Equal parts scathing and hopeful, Failing Our Future aims to improve the lives of students by encouraging them to define success on their own terms. Parents, educators, policymakers, and students will find in these pages a rallying cry for change and a blueprint for how to implement reforms in our homes and classrooms"--

A field guide to climate anxiety : how to keep your cool on a warming planet / by Ray, Sarah Jaquette,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : embracing life in the Anthropocene -- Get schooled on the role of emotions in climate justice work -- Cultivate climate wisdom -- Claim your calling and scale your action -- Hack the story -- Be less right and more in relation -- Ditch guilt, forget hope, and laugh more -- Resist burnout -- Conclusion : feed what you want to grow."A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The "climate generation"--late millennials and iGen, or Generation Z--is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire climate science predictions. Those inheriting our planet's environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not foresee the feelings of powerlessness and despair that often accompany social activism in the face of a seemingly intractable situation. Drawing on ten years' experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an "existential toolkit" for the climate generation. Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is the essential guidebook for the climate generation--and perhaps the rest of us--as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time"--

Left to their own devices : how digital natives are reshaping the American dream / by Albright, Julie M.,1962-; Dolby, Thomas,writer of foreword.;

Includes bibliographical references."A sociologist explores the many ways that digital natives' interaction with technology has changed their relationship with people, places, jobs, and other stabilizing structures and created a new way of life that is at odds with the American Dream of past generations. Digital natives are hacking the American Dream. Young people brought up with the Internet, smartphones, and social media are quickly rendering old habits, values, behaviors, and norms a distant memory--creating the greatest generation gap in history. In this eye-opening book, digital sociologist Julie M. Albright looks at the many ways in which younger people, facilitated by technology, are coming "untethered" from traditional aspirations and ideals, and asks: What are the effects of being disconnected from traditional, stabilizing social structures like churches, marriage, political parties, and long-term employment? What does it mean to be human when one's ties to people, places, jobs, and societal institutions are weakened or broken, displaced by digital hyper-connectivity? Albright sees both positives and negatives. On the one hand, mobile connectivity has given digital nomads the unprecedented opportunity to work or live anywhere. But, new threats to well-being are emerging, including increased isolation, anxiety, and loneliness, decreased physical exercise, ephemeral relationships, fragmented attention spans, and detachment from the calm of nature. In this time of rapid, global, technologically driven change, this book offers fresh insights into the unintended societal and psychological implications of lives exclusively lived in a digital world"--Foreword by Thomas Dolby -- Introduction -- Becoming tethered: the American dream -- Synchronization and harmonization -- The untethered adult -- Growing up digital -- Your brain on digital -- Untethered from nature -- The untethered worker -- Untethered from the body -- The untethered world.
