The school system has taught this generation of 20-35 year olds that discussing uncomfortable subjects is harmful to their mental health. My kids tell me I’m literally causing them distress and anxiety therefore they don’t want to even have a calm, hear each other out, conversation.
reminds me of the cry rooms and ‘cry in’ after the election…
Keep being the counter voice of reason for your kids … they need to hear it from their parents
The blessing of the pandemic for me and my kids was it was a light bulb moment that my kids were being indoctrinated to a certain way of thinking and I had to get busy telling them the counter position!!
I agree
Parents today try to remove all discomfort for their kids
And that’s not healthy. The result is a generation of kids unable to cope with adversity and any difference of opinion.

Yes, and it’s important for kids to learn that they can like and even love someone and yet heartily disagree with that person.
