Oprah has set an intention exclusively for Oprah Daily Insiders, focusing on teen mental health. In a recent “The Life You Want” Class, Oprah had guests like NYU professor Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation, who highlighted the struggles faced by Generation Alpha as the first to grow up with advanced technology.
Oprah also spoke with Dr. Becky Kennedy, a parenting expert, who emphasized the negative impact of excessive smartphone use on adolescents. The class provided valuable insights for parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles on how to support and guide the young people in their lives.
It was eye-opening to learn about the challenges that young people face in today’s world, including the dangers of social media, selfie culture and constant lure of smartphones. Oprah encourages parents and caregivers to share their thoughts on the class in the comments below and have a great week ahead. Go well!
