Is It Possible That Kids Are TOO Safe?
Manage episode 384019351 series 3515916
Steve Cortes discusses concerns about the well-being of American children, particularly related to mental health, academic pressure, and the impact of technology. With an increase in school hours and homework over the years, there is a greater strain on children. The concept of "helicopter parenting" suggests that overprotective parenting may contribute to issues like anxiety and depression in children. Steve also questions the safety of schools and challenges the notion that more time in school doesn't necessarily lead to better education. Solutions are proposed, including increased awareness, advocating for more independent activities in schools, and addressing the broader societal emphasis on safety. The negative influence of pharmaceutical companies are discussed, particularly in the overuse of psychiatric medications, as a contributing factor to the challenges faced by American children. Finally, Steve addresses the alarming rate of teen suicide and urges listeners to consider the impact of screen time on child development.
