Increased academic pressure, mental health issues, and societal expectations are three challenges facing students today and the fallout is showing up in many ways. Adrienne has an insightful conversation with the author of the book “The Disintegrating Student: Super Smart & Falling Apart”, Jeannine Jannot, Ph.D, whose decades of experience working with children and families led her to a concerning discovery in today’s achievement culture. The usually “bright” children, who until recently school was fine, if not easy for them, suddenly begin struggling academically and emotionally. This is a conversation not only about what’s happening with our children, but it is also full of self-reflection about the things we do as parents that have unintentional consequences. Whether you have a so-called ‘Disintegrating Student’ or not, this is an eye-opening conversation about parenting today and how we can support our children.
