Full Description
Kids These Days is a must-read book and protest against harmful mental health treatments for children and youth.
—PARIS HILTON, global advocate for institutional reform and founder of 11:11 Media
Anxiety, depression, self-harm, and teen suicide are rising sharply—youth mental health issues have increased over 60% in the past decade. In Kids These Days, experts Will Dobud, PhD and Nevin Harper, PhD reveal why today's kids are struggling and what adults must do differently. Endorsed by Paris Hilton, Dr. Bruce D. Perry, and Alex Hutchinson, this research-based guide delivers practical strategies for building resilience, connection, and autonomy in the next generation.
What You'll Learn
Why anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges are symptoms, not root causes
How overprotection, screen time, disconnection, and adult interference affect youth mental health
Insights from 20+ years of clinical experience and adolescent psychology for raising emotionally resilient teens
Why traditional talk therapy, diagnoses, and medication often miss the mark
How to build trust, connection, and autonomy with kids—even in crisis
Why This Book Stands Out
Written by practitioners with decades of experience in outdoor therapy, youth work, and trauma-informed care
Grounded in research and filled with expert insights from parenting and psychology professionals
Offers practical strategies parents, educators, and youth mentors can apply immediately
A refreshing alternative to books that pathologize or try to "fix" kids
