alongside Never Enough by Jennifer Breheny Wallace
“I want my daughter to know she matters," is the new “I just want my daughter to be happy."
Feeling like you don't matter is a strong predictor of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, but on the flip side knowing you’re valuable leads to resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security to thrive.
Join me for a conversation alongside the book Never Enough by Jennifer Breheny Wallace.
Using my lens as an adolescent counselor, I pulled out the important parts so you can learn about topics you know are impactful, but maybe don't have the time to dig deep into yourself.
we're covering:
"In the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future, today’s students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack their schedules with AP classes, fill every waking hour with resume-padding activities, and even sabotage relationships with friends to “get ahead.”
Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and even self-harm in America’s highest-achieving schools.
Through deep research and interviews with today’s leading child psychologists, Wallace shows what kids need from the adults in the room is not more pressure, but to feel like they matter, and have intrinsic self-worth not contingent upon external achievements.
In an ironic twist, kids who receive consistent feedback that they matter no matter what are more likely to have the resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security to thrive." - Jennifer Breheny Wallace
