Synopsis

Everyone has an opinion about "kids these days."

Dr. Jody Carrington has spent more than two decades working with children, families, educators, and communities across North America—and she's here to tell you something that might surprise you:

The kids are not the problem.

In a world where anxiety is rising, attention is fractured, burnout is everywhere, and genuine human connection feels harder than ever, our young people need more than programs, policies, and quick fixes. They need relationships. They need the adults in their lives to feel supported, valued, and connected too.

Drawing on her experience as a clinical psychologist, educator advocate, and one of North America's most sought-after speakers, Dr. Jody delivers a powerful, practical, and often hilarious guide to understanding what kids truly need to thrive. Through unforgettable stories, research-backed insights, and real-world strategies, she shows how connection—not perfection—is the foundation of resilience, learning, leadership, and mental health.

Whether you're a teacher, administrator, educational assistant, bus driver, coach, parent, caregiver, or anyone who loves a child, this book will remind you of the extraordinary impact you have on the lives of young people every day.

Inside you'll discover:

• Why connection is the most powerful tool we have to support kids
• How stress, trauma, and disconnection shape behaviour
• Practical strategies for building trust, belonging, and emotional safety
• The critical role adults play in developing resilience
• Why caring for ourselves is essential to caring for others
• A renewed sense of purpose in the work of raising and supporting children

Heartfelt, relatable, and deeply inspiring, Kids These Days is a call to reconnect—with our kids, with one another, and with the reason we chose this important work in the first place.

Because kids are okay when the people holding them are okay.

And none of us were meant to do this alone.
