Bad Therapy, Broken Kids: How Overparenting and Technology Are Shaping The Anxious Generation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798300500894)

Parenting isn't broken, but how we're doing it might be.

What if the solutions we trust to help our kids are making things worse?
In Bad Therapy, Broken Kids, psychologist Jennifer R. Greger uncovers the unsettling truths behind the alarming rise in mental health struggles among today's children and teens. With her signature straightforward and compassionate writing style, Greger offers a deeply insightful look into the modern pressures kids face-and how misguided parenting and ineffective therapy are contributing to the crisis.

In this eye-opening book, you'll discover:

• The Overparenting Trap: How well-meaning efforts to protect children have unintentionally stunted their independence, resilience, and ability to face life's challenges.
• The Silent Disruptors: The profound impact of screen time and social media on children's mental health, relationships, and sense of self.
• The Therapy Industry Exposed: Why quick fixes like overdiagnosis, overprescription, and superficial counseling often fail to address the root causes of kids' struggles.
• Parenting in a Fear-Driven World: How today's culture of fear has shaped parenting practices, leaving kids less prepared to navigate life on their own.
• Solutions That Work: Practical, evidence-based strategies for empowering children, fostering resilience, and balancing technology use with real-life experiences.

Greger doesn't just highlight the problems-she offers hope and actionable advice to help parents, educators, and communities create a healthier, happier future for the next generation. With real-life stories, relatable examples, and science-backed insights, Bad Therapy, Broken Kids is an essential guide for anyone who cares about the well-being of today's youth.
