“These kids are growing up with social media, and while I don’t think social media is evil or wicked, if they’re on social media they are being bombarded by as many as 10,000 messages a day. I don’t think our brains are meant to take in 10,000 messages a day, so mentally they are just overwhelmed.” - Tim Elmore This generation of students who have grown up in the 21st century are the most social, the most empowered, and also the most anxious youth population in human history. If you are struggling to connect with, parent, and lead them, you are not alone. Today’s Finding Brave expert guest shows how their best chance of success starts when adults choose to believe in them, challenge them, and walk with them through the nine greatest challenges today’s youth will face.
