“These kids are growing up with social media, and while I don’t think social media is evil or wicked, if they’re on social media they are being bombarded by as many as 10,000 messages a day. I don’t think our brains are meant to take in 10,000 messages a day, so mentally they are just overwhelmed.” - Tim Elmore

This generation of students who have grown up in the 21st century are the most social, the most empowered, and also the most anxious youth population in human history. If you are struggling to connect with, parent, and lead them, you are not alone. Today’s Finding Brave expert guest shows how their best chance of success starts when adults choose to believe in them, challenge them, and walk with them through the nine greatest challenges today’s youth will face.

Dr. Tim Elmore is a best-selling author and international speaker who equips educators, coaches, leaders, and parents of Generations Y and Z. He has authored more than 30 books, including his latest work Generation Z Unfiltered: Facing Nine Hidden Challenges of the Most Anxious Population and has trained thousands of leaders in nationally-renowned organizations like the Nebraska Department of Education, National FFA Organization, University of Alabama Athletic Department, The Ohio State University, and Chick-fil-A.

In this episode Tim not only gives practical strategies for lowering the anxiety levels in the young people that you know, but he also shares how to equip them to be life-ready using problems, relationships, visuals and experiences.
