Something has gone seriously wrong with our children. Things are not ok and we need to fix it, fast. From babiesto toddlers, to those in their mid-teens, school leavers and those on verge ofadulthood. Young people's mental health and wellbeing in this country isamongst the lowest in Europe and deteriorating year on year.
Our children arenot happy. From social anxiety to depression, the explosion of specialneeds, ADHD and autism, those unable to make eye contact or communicateverbally, from toddlers hooked on screens to teens addicted to smartphones,children with selective mutism, gender dysphoria or eating disorders, those whoare self-harming, lonely, obsessed with Roblox or wracked with climate anxiety,things are not alright with kids in the UK.
From the bestselling author Emma Woolf comes this blisteringand painful exploration of what's happening for young people in the UK rightnow. With personal insight, warmth and wit, she compares our childhoods of thepast (full of falls and fun and danger) with the over-anxious, over-protectedexperiences of kids today.
Are they really safer indoors, isolated, glued tothe internet, or running wild and free? The Kids Are Not Alright is a call to arms, a battlefor young minds. This is a manifesto for real childhood.
