Social media does not just correlate with mental illness - it causes it. Overprotection in the real world alongside underprotection in the virtual world are the major reasons why children born after 1995 became the anxious generation.
We’ve seen a sharp rise in anxiety, depression and self-harm adolescents, with young girls hit the hardest.
Change begins with awareness, but it grows through intentional leadership in our homes, our habits, and our relationships. Every generation is shaped by what it gives its attention to.
We still have the opportunity to lead this one well.

Digital discipline matters. Know your stats.
