Parenting the Anxious Generation

CONTACT: Rev. Dr. John Regan, Executive Minister 405.341.3544

We live in a world where screens are everywhere—laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart TVs. With children spending upwards of eight hours online between school, gaming, social media, and just interpersonal communication, it’s no wonder parenting feels more complex than ever.

No generation before ours has had to navigate the nuances and challenges of raising kids in the digital age. But we can be equipped and empowered to help our children thrive.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion based on Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. Together, we’ll explore how smartphones, social media, and shifting parenting styles have rewired childhood—and how we can help our kids thrive despite the pressures they face.

We are in the midst of a mental health crisis and not just for children. The Anxious Generation is a vital book and many of Haidt’s lessons apply equally to adults addicted to their phones, constantly checking into social media and unable to focus on any single thing for more than a few minutes.

Join this important discussion and find a supportive space to talk, listen, and share with fellow parents, grandparents, and guardians who understand the struggle.

Sign up today and take the first step toward navigating parenting in the digital age with confidence.
