Kids today aren’t worse. They’re not lazy, ungrateful, or “addicted to their phones.” They’re just different—because the world that raised them is different. They’re growing up in a time of chaos—social media pressure, constant comparison, online bullying, and the never-ending demand to be “perfect.” And in the middle of all this noise, they often feel completely alone.

They sit in their rooms, staring at screens. Not because they prefer it. Not because it’s better than talking. But because there’s no one to talk to. Their parents are always busy. Tired. Preoccupied with work, responsibilities, and stress. Every now and then they might hear a rushed, “How was your day?” or get treated to something cool—a new gadget, a trip, or a pair of sneakers. And parents think: “They’re good. My kid has everything.”

But they don’t have you. Your full attention. Your presence. Your “Tell me how you’re really feeling.” Because love can’t be replaced by the newest iPhone or a vacation. What your child really needs is you.

They need connection. They need you to sit beside them and ask, “What’s going on?”—and actually mean it. They need you to put your phone down, look them in the eyes, and truly listen. Because if you don’t, someone else will. And that “someone” might not have good intentions. It might be a stranger online who says all the right things: “I get you.” It might be a friend group that demands they change just to belong. Or it might be the anonymous cruelty of the internet, following them from school to home, to bed, to the buzzing phone under their pillow.

Kids today are growing up under pressure and under a microscope. Every post, every comment, every selfie is open for judgment. Every vulnerability is an invitation for ridicule. And the worst part? There’s no escape. Bullying doesn’t end when the school bell rings. It follows them home.

And you? You might think, “Well, they’re not complaining, so everything must be fine.” But kids don’t always say it when they’re hurting. They scream through silence. They stop talking, stop asking, stop trying to be seen. And that’s when we, as parents, start to believe everything’s okay. But that’s exactly when it isn’t.

Because kids don’t stop needing us just because we’re busy. They don’t stop needing connection just because we’re tired. They don’t stop needing love, validation, and presence. They just stop asking for it. And that’s the moment we start to lose them.

Throwback to 5 years ago to a musical theatre workshop.. The kids thought it was hilarious that I could do impersonations, and one of them was Siri so they called me Rockstar Siri 🤣 Aww I miss doing local workshops sometimes, so many special moments.

What a powerful message to parents!

A leopard's jaw grabs a baboon's carcass. The predator has captured its prey and is willing to take it to its cubs.. However, a small detail gets the attention. Clinging to his mother's body, a baby baboon, with fear in his eyes, resists abandoning her.

The image was taken by Basque photographer Igor Altuna.

This photo says a thousand things, but what strikes me is the fact that a child follows it’s parent.
You can walk that child right into Hell and he/she will follow you without question.
You can throw them on your back and walk them into a land of opportunity or you can drag them by the arm into some reckless situations.
Either way, they cling to you. It begs the question…. Where are you leading your children?
Are they exposed to consistent domestic violence, arguing, abuse, drug use?
Do they experience abandonment, being placed in rooms behind screens to allow you to have “free time”?
Or are they your priority? Do you sacrifice your plans for theirs? Do you put their needs and wants before your own?
Remember, we chose to have children they didn’t choose.
They deserve every opportunity to experience life.
They deserve peace, happiness, joy, and fulfillment.
They don’t deserve to be your door mat. Your second rank servant, or your punching bag.
Make them a priority, not a chore. Set them up for success, not failure. Lead them, don’t drag them.
Because like it or not, they will follow you into Hell if that’s where you take them.
