In recent years, numerous studies have shown that bright, charming, seemingly confident and socially skilled teenagers from affluent, loving families are experiencing epidemic rates of depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders-rates higher than in any other socioeconomic group of American adolescents. Materialism, pressure to achieve, perfectionism, and disconnection are combining to create a perfect storm that is devastating children of privilege and their parents alike. In this eye-opening, provocative, and essential book, clinical psychologist Madeline Levine explodes one child-rearing myth after another. With empathy and candor, she identifies toxic cultural influences and well-intentioned, but misguided, parenting practices that are detrimental to a child's healthy self-development. Her thoughtful, practical advice provides solutions that will enable parents to help their emotionally troubled "star" child cultivate an authentic sense of self.

It was interesting that she didn't really seem to address how poverty can exacerbate these issues(compounded with the stress of worrying about basic shelter, food, and other needs). For example, if nothing changes, we will make 25000 this year. Our ability to choose is severely limited by that---as is our ability to have fun hobbies. It can be draining. Stress over money can mute the love and attention that parents are able to show to each other and their children. I'm not complaining, just saying that it's not just a problem that the "privileged" have. I just want more information on that hypothetically ideal middle ground.
We should be acutely aware of the children in our society, no matter where or how they live. If they(or their parents) can afford the AP courses, the Ivy League schools, and the private tutors, we should still care for their mental and physical health. If they (or their parents) can't afford clothing, food, shelter, extracurricular activities, a bus pass, or gas for their cars, we should still care for their mental and physical health. They are, as Levine rightly says, the future.
