[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The extreme defensiveness of those reacting to the therapist proves her point. Many of these gen z kids (especially of the affluent DCUM-type) have been snowplow and helicopter parented and don’t function as independent young adults with agency and responsibility.[/quote]

I think the posters were expecting a professional to provide a more thoughtful analysis than the views doled out by untrained and uniformed strangers typically drive-by judging our kids. Or even constructive feedback! They didn't. Hence, the responses.  Parents are always the problem. For us it was that our parents left us outside all day, beat us and/or did not believe in emotional needs. Therapists deal all day with the product of that in 40 and 50 something adults.

The "Gen Z kids" are the kids. That is the generation of kids at issue at the moment. We don't have other kids. If you can't help the current kids, with the problems attendant to their generation, step aside and wait for the next batch. [/quote]
