In this episode of Two Dogs Barking: Truths and Tangents, we unpack what it means to raise and teach a generation raised on the "Next" button. From reels to rapid-fire content, kids today are conditioned to skip, scroll, and swipe—so what happens when real life demands patience, effort, and staying power?
I talk about the wider societal shift where boredom is seen as a problem, rather than an opportunity. What if learning to manage boredom is one of the most important skills our kids could develop? And what if discomfort is actually where growth begins?
I also share my opinion on the rise of ASD diagnosis.
Tune in for a conversation that blends education, psychology, and just enough tangent to make you think twice next time you hear "I’m bored."
