Modern parenting didn’t mean to create anxious kids — but here we are.
In this episode of Planting Thoughts, Mike breaks down the psychology behind why today’s children are more anxious, fragile, and overwhelmed than any generation before them… despite having more safety, resources, and support.

We dive into:
The psychology of overparenting
Why protection can actually stunt resilience
What the research really says about anxiety, autonomy, and growth
How good intentions quietly backfire
This episode isn’t about parent-shaming — it’s about parent awakening.
If you’re a parent, educator, or someone trying to understand why so many young people are struggling, this one matters.
