In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, the fellas unpack the differences between how we grew up and how many kids are being raised today. The conversation centers around whether children today are becoming more thin-skinned compared to previous generations, and how our upbringing shaped the way we handled criticism, conflict, and adversity.

We reflect on the parenting styles we experienced and how those experiences influence the way we’re raising our own children. The discussion also expands into how technology has drastically changed childhood. With phones, tablets, gaming, and constant digital entertainment, kids today have far more options to stay occupied than we did growing up.

From outside play and limited distractions to the always-connected world our kids live in now, we explore how these changes are shaping resilience, communication, and social development.

This episode is a thoughtful look at parenting across generations and the balance between protecting our children and preparing them for the real world.
