The Amazing Generation
In this dynamic and hope-filled talk, bestselling author and digital wellness expert Catherine Price offers a fresh and empowering perspective on how we can support today’s youth in building lives filled with purpose, play, and authentic connection. Drawing from her upcoming book The Amazing Generation, co-authored with Jonathan Haidt and designed as a companion guide for kids and tweens inspired by the ideas in The Anxious Generation, Price shares a bold new vision for helping kids navigate the digital world with confidence and independence.
This talk is a must for youth development professionals who want to rethink the role of technology in childhood, inspire the next generation to make healthier choices, and create environments that prioritize real-world connection (ahem, Summer Camp!), creativity, and joy. With humor, heart, and science-backed insights, Catherine shows how we can all help kids choose freedom over fear and fun over FOMO.
