Gen Alpha is already being called the “iPad kid” generation: screen-addicted, easily distracted, emotionally fragile, and incapable of tolerating boredom. But before we judge the children, we need to understand the people raising them.

Millennial parenting may be producing some very obvious problems: excessive screen time, emotional over validation, and shortened attention spans. However, it may also be producing something previous generations struggled to create.

To understand Gen Alpha, we have to understand Millennials. And to understand Millennials, we have to understand what happened to them.
