連假有追劇嗎？還是被孩子追？🤣
我是一個很少追劇的人，通常我看的劇是我有興趣的話題，我才會花時間觀看。
最近看完評價很高的《混沌少年時》，加上前陣子也閱讀完了另一本讓我大推的書——《#失控的焦慮世代》（The Anxious Generation）。
這本書談到了現代孩子為什麼比以往更焦慮、更脆弱，甚至更容易迷失在社群媒體的世界裡。作者點出了一個殘酷的現實：我們這一代的孩子，可能是人類歷史上最孤獨、最焦慮的一代，而這一切與我們給他們的「數位生活」息息相關。
這讓我想到《#混沌少年時》裡的那位少年——他的選擇、他的掙扎，還有IG、臉書等等社群媒體的推波助瀾，真的讓人不寒而慄。這些故事不只是劇情，而是我們天天正在面對的現實。
現在的孩子，每天都活在資訊爆炸的世界裡，他們無時無刻都在接收來自網路的內容，但這些內容是真是假？而且真的是他們能夠承受的嗎？是否安全呢？
• 我們的孩子在社群媒體上接觸到的是什麼？
• 他們如何區分虛擬世界與現實？
• 當社群言論比家長的聲音更具影響力時，我們應該怎麼做？
我記得在劇中爸爸當時詢問媽媽，難道我們有做錯任何事嗎？媽媽說我們沒有，但是我們創造了他，我一直以為他放學回家直接進房間在房間裡就是安全的，但是我沒有想到網路上的世界是這麼的危險。
而最後，爸爸問媽媽：「How we create her?」而媽媽的回答是：「The way we created him.」這句話真的讓我眼淚直流，因為我們終究無法陪孩子到最後一步，我們能做的，只有幫助他們建立分辨是非的能力，最終還是他們自己去做出選擇。(劇中有兩位孩子）
如果你還沒看過這部劇，或是這本書，我真的誠心推薦。身為家長，我們需要更了解這個時代對孩子的影響，也要學習如何幫助他們應對這個資訊過載、焦慮蔓延的世界。
你們有看過這部劇或這本書嗎？對於社群網路對孩子的影響，你們有什麼看法呢？留言跟我分享吧！
Binge-watched during the long weekend? Or were you the one being chased by your kids? 🤣
I’m not someone who often binge-watches shows, unless it’s a topic that really interests me. Recently, I watched the highly rated series Adolescence, and not long before that, I finished reading a book I can’t recommend enough — The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt.
The book explores why today’s children are more anxious, fragile, and easily lost in the world of social media compared to past generations. The author points to a harsh truth: this generation may be the most lonely and anxious in human history, and a big part of that is tied to the digital lives we've given them.
It reminded me so much of the teen in Adolescence — his choices, his struggles, and how platforms like IG and Facebook intensified everything. It was honestly chilling. These aren't just fictional stories — they reflect the reality many of us are facing every single day.
Kids today live in an age of constant information overload. They're endlessly absorbing content from the internet. But how much of it is true? Is it safe? Is it even something their minds and emotions are ready to handle?
🌀 What are our children being exposed to on social media?
🌀 How can they tell what’s real and what’s not?
🌀 And what do we do when the voices online are louder than ours as parents?
There’s one scene in the show that really stayed with me. The father asks the mother, “Did we do something wrong?”
She replies, “No. But we created him.”
She thought that once their child came home from school and went straight to their room, they were safe. But she never imagined that the online world could be so dangerous.
And then comes the line that broke me:
Father: “How did we create her?”
Mother: “The same way we created him.”
That hit me hard. Because the truth is, we won’t be able to walk every step of the journey with our kids. The best we can do is help them build the tools to navigate the world, to know right from wrong, and to make their own choices — even when we’re not there.
If you haven’t watched this series or read this book yet, I sincerely recommend both. As parents, we need to understand the impact this digital age has on our children and learn how to support them in a world that’s overflowing with content, pressure, and anxiety.
Have you seen the show or read the book? What are your thoughts on how social media is shaping this generation?
I’d love to hear your perspective — feel free to share in the comments! 💬
