Greg & Jennifer Dowell will facilitate a conversation on “Raising Resilient Kids in an Anxious Age” from 6:45-7:45pm in room 18 on Wednesday, October 1.
In his best-selling book, The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt unpacks how the Great Rewiring of childhood is causing an epidemic of mental illness. His research reveals how smart phones and social media impact the well being of today’s children and teens. Greg and Jennifer will lead a conversation on Haidt’s research, his suggestions to nurture healthy development in our children and discuss the role the faith community plays in raising Christ-centered, resilient children.
