Send us a textSharing another one of my favorite episodes from Kids These Days...Depression in kids doesn't always look like sadness. Often it shows up as irritability, anger, “I don't care,” and a slow fade from hobbies, friends, and motivation. In this candid, practical conversation, Dr. Beth Tremell walks through the clearest signs of youth depression, how they differ from adult patterns, and the simple phrases parents can use to open a safe, direct conversation—without making things worse.We unpack real-world red flags like drastic sleep shifts, appetite changes, chronic fatigue, harsh self-talk, and school or friendship struggles. You'll hear calm, evidence-aligned ways to ask about suicidal thoughts—questions like “Do you want to die or stop hurting?”—and why bringing this up reduces isolation rather than creating risk. Dr. Beth shares how to respond when a child says “maybe I should just die,” how to stay steady in the moment, and what details matter for getting the right level of help.Support is both emotional and practical: being physically present to counter the “island” of depression, setting gentle routines, and connecting with professionals. We outline when to call the pediatrician, how to find a therapist, and why school-based services—counselors, social workers, school psychologists—can be vital when community waitlists are long. Throughout, you'll get clear, compassionate guidance for gauging severity by impact on grades, friendships, and daily life, plus small steps that build momentum back.If you're a parent, caregiver, or educator trying to tell the difference between a rough week and something deeper, this conversation gives you language, structure, and next steps.

Send us a textSharing some of my favorite throwback episodes from Kids These Days...What if the first second of your response could change how your teen handles anxiety? We unpack a practical, compassionate approach to big feelings that begins with a steady face and ends with stronger connection. No jargon, no lectures—just a clear framework you can use tonight.We start with the counterintuitive move that lowers the temperature fast: fix your face. Learn why a neutral, grounded expression and tone signal safety to a nervous system on high alert—and how to repair quickly if your surprise or frustration slips out. Then we pivot to co-regulation, using short prompts and shared breathing to slow runaway thoughts. Instead of shutting worries down, we draw them out with simple questions that shrink vague fears into specific, manageable pieces.With calm restored, we shift to consent. You'll hear scripts that honor autonomy: “Do you want my take?” and “What should we do together?” When teens say yes, we offer concise, doable steps instead of lectures. When they say no, we respect the boundary—and keep the door open. We also map out the follow-up rhythm that builds trust over time: a light touch the next day, a check-in later in the week, and a watchful eye for changes in mood, sleep, school, and friendships. Finally, we cover how and when to seek professional support, frame it as teamwork, and navigate waitlists while keeping momentum at home.If you've ever wondered how to help without hovering, how to listen without minimizing, or how to advise without taking over, this guide to teen anxiety gives you the tools. Expect practical language you can borrow, evidence-informed reasoning for each step, and a steady reminder that presence beats perfection. If this helped, share it with a friend who's supporting a worried teen, subscribe for more science-backed parenting strategies, and leave a review to tell us which step made the biggest difference.This podcast is meant to be a resource for the general public, as well as fellow therapists/psychologists.

Send us a textSharing some of my favorite episodes from Kids These Days... Ever find yourself locked in a standoff with a kid and wondering why your go‑to lines aren't working? We dig into three everyday phrases that seem efficient but quietly sabotage trust and cooperation, then share simple replacements that calm the room and still get things done. As a licensed psychologist and educator, I unpack why “Because I said so,” identity‑tinged labels, and “There's no reason to cry” can escalate conflict and seed shame—and what to say instead.We start by reframing authority with short, honest reasons and shared routines that reduce pushback. You'll hear how a family code word creates a clean pause, how first‑time listening agreements take shape, and why the brain shifts from fight to think when expectations are clear. From there, we replace character attacks with crisp I‑statements that name impact without wounding identity, then build a habit of de‑escalation: state the feeling, give space, return to problem solving when everyone's calm.Finally, we tackle emotional validation. Tears are data, not defiance. Learn how to meet big feelings with simple noticing, offer language like sad, embarrassed, or hurt, and guide kids toward faster recovery and stronger self‑awareness. Along the way, we point you to blog resources with more phrases and scripts you can use right away. If you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver who wants fewer power struggles and more connection—without giving up boundaries—this conversation is your field guide.If these ideas help, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review so others can find it. Tell me the most unhelpful phrase you're retiring and what you're replacing it with—I'd love to feature your ideas next time.Check out THREE MORE UNHELPFUL things we say to kids at:www.bethtrammell.com/blogBlog — Beth TrammellThis podcast is meant to be a resource for the general public, as well as fellow therapists/psychologists.

In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Will Dobud, social worker, research, and senior lecturer about youth mental health. Will defines the "Kids these days" effect, which is also the title of his recent book with co-author Dr. Nevin Harper. Will discusses what inspired Nevin and him to write the book, as well as how it stands apart from other books on youth mental health. Will discusses the current state of youth mental health and various factors that are contributing to the current state of youth mental health. We discuss how Nevin and Will take a critical approach in the book, challenging their own and mainstream ideas about youth mental health and acknowledging the fact that, despite more therapists, awareness of mental health, and interventions, the research continues to show youth mental health is continuing to decline. Will also points out the cyclical nature of history and how many things we are discussing today with youth mental health have been discussed historically. We end the episode by discussing cultural shifts that need to take place to better support youth mental health, including better modeling from adults.Connect with Will:IG: @willdobudIG: @kids_these_days_bookSubstack: Adults in the RoomBook: Kids These DaysConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdFollow me on Youtube Follow me on Threads @jessicaleighphdWelcome to Group Therapy PodcastJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughWays to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingIntro/Outro MusicLife of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic License

Why are so many young people struggling—and are adults partly to blame? Dr. Will Dobud and Dr. Nevin Harper return to Stories from the Field to talk with Will about their bold new book, Kids These Days: Understanding and Supporting Youth Mental Health. Building on their past appearances, they reunite to explore why youth mental health keeps declining despite unprecedented access to therapy, medication, and awareness—and what adults can do to change the story. Drawing on decades of research and global experience, they challenge the assumption that kids are the problem, pointing instead to the adult-driven systems shaping their world: safety culture, over-intervention, digital overload, and the pathologizing of normal struggle. This thought-provoking episode invites parents, educators, and clinicians to step back, rethink their roles, and consider how adults can foster real belonging, autonomy, and resilience for the next generation.

In this conversation, Phil Brown and Will Dobud discuss the themes of youth mental health, the perceptions of today's youth, and the importance of experiential education. They explore the origins of the book 'Kids These Days', the societal tendency to label and control youth, and the historical context of education and mental health. The discussion emphasizes the need for adults to rethink their approach to youth, focusing on building connections and understanding the environmental influences on development. Historical figures have often lamented the state of youth, dating back to Socrates. Overprotection of youth can lead to disconnection and misunderstanding. Experiential education allows youth to take risks and learn from failures. The industrialized education system may not serve the needs of today's youth. Mental health diagnoses may reflect societal failures rather than individual issues. Youth can be seen as indicators of societal health, akin to canaries in coal mines. Environmental factors significantly influence youth development and mental health. Building connections with youth requires understanding their unique experiences. Sitting and sharing meals with youth fosters connection and understanding.

Every generation loves to complain about the next one—lazy, entitled, wasting money on gadgets and brunch. But here's the truth: young adults today aren't just making different choices—they're playing a completely different financial game. In 1970, over half of 30-year-olds in America were married and owned a home. Today? Less than 15%. And it's not because everyone suddenly decided marriage and mortgages were overrated. It's the fallout from decades of policy decisions, wage stagnation, and skyrocketing costs that have made the old “American Dream” a whole lot harder to reach. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the real reasons why hitting financial milestones looks different now, and why “just work harder” is the worst advice you can give someone trying to buy a home in today's economy. You'll hear: The shocking drop in homeownership rates for 30-year-olds since the 1970s How wages, housing prices, and student debt have completely shifted the financial landscape Why avocado toast is not the problem (and what actually is) How generational misunderstanding keeps us from creating solutions that work Practical ways both older and younger generations can bridge the gap It's time to stop blaming brunch and start looking at the real math.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in 2022, more than one in three U.S. adolescents between the ages of 18 and 25 had some form of mental health disorder, including anxiety and depression. There's also a loneliness epidemic: Teens and adults are more connected than ever, yet, somehow, more alone. Kara and three panelists explore how much blame should be placed on technology like smartphones, the impact of social media, whether the adolescent brain is inherently vulnerable, how artificial intelligence might shift the paradigm, and how parents and society at large could mitigate the problem. In this episode: Lauren Greenfield, artist, documentary photographer and filmmaker, who has been chronicling the lives of American adolescents for decades. Most recently, she created and directed Social Studies, an Emmy-nominated five-part docuseries for FX. Matt Richtel, a health and science reporter for the New York Times, who has long covered the social impact of the tech industry. His latest book, How We Grow Up: Understanding Adolescence, draws on neuroscience and personal narratives to explore the changing complexities of the teen brain and the role technology plays. Jack Thorne, playwright and screenwriter, whose recent Emmy-nominated Netflix hit Adolescence, co-created with Stephen Graham, examines the psychological toll of toxic masculinity, bullying and social media radicalization after a teenage boy kills his female classmate.

Today we welcome Malcolm Harris back to the show. Previously he talked with us about his mammoth study, Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World. This time we are looking not at a history of Capitalism and the World, but our possible futures under the threat of catastrophic climate change. We talk about not only failed policies, but failed perspectives on society, politics, and culture, and focus on a deadly form of Value that has led us to the abyss precisely because it has emanated from a basic rift between humans and the world. It is a rift that Capital has always both fed and exploited, but will end up exhausting a finite resource—the Planet. We talk about what is needed to heal this, and what we are up against. Malcolm Harris is a freelance writer and the author of Kids These Days, Shit is Fucked Up and Bullshit, and Palo Alto. His newest book is What's Left?: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis.
Send us a textPlayback episode!! I've shared this episode on Kids These Days, but it seems like so perfect to include it again this week! The perfect family vacation often exists only in our minds. As one friend wisely told me, "Vacation with kids isn't really a vacation—it's just life somewhere else." This distinction forms the foundation of our exploration into making family gatherings genuinely enjoyable rather than merely survivable.Success begins with clarity about your true priorities. Are you seeking relaxation, memory-making, quality time, new experiences, or simple fun? Each goal demands different planning approaches. If relaxation tops your list, avoid overscheduling every moment. For memorable experiences, create special moments distinct from everyday life—whether through matching family shirts, unique dining experiences, or photo journals capturing your adventures. When prioritizing quality time, consider technology boundaries that allow genuine connection. And if exposing your children to new experiences drives your planning, recognize that their enthusiasm might not match yours—and that's perfectly okay. The magic happens when you align your expectations with reality while communicating openly with everyone involved.Summer gatherings present their own challenges—disrupted routines, heat that reduces everyone's tolerance levels, unfamiliar foods, and complex social dynamics. Children thrive on predictability, so parties naturally create stress when normal patterns disappear. Prepare by ensuring kids are well-fed before events, pack backup options for picky eaters, and remember that both you and your children become less patient in hot weather. Perhaps most importantly, balance your "visit mode" (adult conversation) with attentiveness to your children's needs. Often, they require just a few minutes of connection before happily returning to independent play. By approaching these moments with curiosity rather than frustration, you transform potential conflicts into opportunities for teaching and bonding. Ready to make your next family experience truly meaningful? Start by defining what matters most, then build your plans around that vision.Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com

Are kids these days still making paper airplanes? We compare what it was like being a kid back in our day to a new generation of youngsters. We can’t believe some of the stuff available to kids these days! We also remember the good ol’ days of clubbing, and wonder why most of the young people we know can’t dance. Plus, Andrew's cucumber dilemma!

Can Falk shut down the villains who are copying his radio show? Is it a warning of horrible events to come or a plot to bring about horrible events? How does it hold up against nitroglycerin? Listen to find out!I Have Her MAC-10, episode 124 of This Gun in My Hand, was dry-fired by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog.

What ends a story more subtly than an explosion? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. Falk doesn't seem to realize the music used for his show is in public domain. He couldn't sue anyone else who wanted to use it.2. In our world, the US agreed in a 1977 treaty to gradually give control of the canal to the nation of Panama, planning the handoff to be complete in 1999.3. Kids These Days might not be aware that until the end of the Twentieth Century, every American city and town and village had a directory called a “phone book” which was distributed to the public and which doxxed everyone who had a phone, listing their phone number and address. You could pay the phone company to be "unlisted," to exclude your name, number or address from the phone book. This was not considered a bribe or extortion because people had not yet reached a consensus that too many people had been stalked or killed over the decades. The introduction of cell phones seems to have changed that paradigm. I hope.Credits:The opening and transitional music clips were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain.

In the 2020 election, young voters were key to President Joe Biden's victory. Biden won voters age 18 to 29 by more than 20 points, and the turnout rate among young voters was the highest it has been in decades. But recent polls show Biden slipping among voters under 30. The upshot spells danger for Democrats: According to 538's Swing-O-Matic, if young voters shifted toward former President Donald Trump this fall by just 5 points and everything else remained the same, Trump would win. In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, Galen discusses young voters' role in the 2024 election with John Della Volpe, the director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, and Lakshya Jain, partner at the election modeling website Split-Ticket.org.
