"Unpacking 'Why the Kids Aren't Alright': with Dena Schusterman & Dena Gorkin

A Positive Podcast

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the complex world of contemporary youth, inspired by Bari Weiss's discussion with Abigail Shrier on why today's kids are facing unprecedented challenges. With a keen eye on the issues presented and a heart towards understanding them through the lens of Torah and Chassidus, we embark on a journey of exploration and insight. Join us as we engage in two enlightening conversations with Dena Schusterman and Dena Gorkin - both esteemed educators and experts in their fields. Dena Schusterman, a dedicated parent and educator, and Dena Gorkin, a renowned therapist, bring their rich experiences and profound understanding of Torah and Chassidic teachings to shed light on the dilemmas facing our youth today. This episode is more than just a discussion; it's a bridge between the counter-culture perspectives highlighted by Shrier, and the timeless wisdom found in Torah and Chassidus. We scrutinize what we agree and disagree with, and more importantly, what we can learn from these views to better support, guide, and understand the younger generation. Both guests offer a refreshing and deeply rooted perspective. Whether you're a parent, educator, or anyone interested in the crossroads of traditional wisdom and contemporary issues, this episode promises a compelling blend of critique, learning, and hope for nurturing resilient, grounded, and happy children. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/apositivepodcast/support
