What are we doing to our kids????

A year ago I received an invitation from the head of Counseling Services at a major university to join faculty and administrators for discussions about how to deal with the decline in resilience among students. At the first meeting, we learned that emergency calls to Counseling had more than doubled over the past five years. Students are increasingly seeking help for, and apparently having emotional crises over, problems of everyday life. .

That said, who didn't see this coming!

Of course it is real to them - which makes it all the more sad. What would these "children" do if they had to endure a depression?

Or a real crisis?

Apparently, those generally in charge of children's education didn't see this coming; I'm certain nobody intended this result.

Granted but I think that more a case of willful disregard.
