Never in history have parents been so aware of what could potentially go wrong with their children. From the moment of conception, parents are inundated with information about possible risks to their children’s health and development. We have to complete countless screenings during pregnancy and early childhood which often result in false positives, the 24/7 news cycle informs us of every scary event that could ever happen to a child, social media tells us that everything we do is harming our children, and a quick Google search turns a mild symptom into a list of terrifying diagnoses. How could we not see our children as vulnerable when everything is telling us that they are?
Let me know in the comments… do you think all children of this generation have Vulnerable Child Syndrome?
