Generation Z & Generation Alpha | Our Future | Teenagers and Young People | Big Dream | Empire State of Mind | Global Solutions. Our children and young people are our future. Our children are our Generation Z and our Generation Alpha. Our Generation Z (born 1995 to 2010) now aged 10 to 25 years, and Generation Alpha (born 2010 to 2025) now aged 9 to 12 years are our futures.
Generation Z also known as 'Zoomers' and 'digital natives' are the first social generation to have access to the Internet and portable digital technology.
Generation Z tend to be more well-behaved, more risk-averse, and live slower than previous generations.
They are more concerned with academic success and career prospects.
They also have fewer teenage pregnancies, and use less alcohol and drugs. The only contrary to this is an increase in sexting. This his is a real concern.
Generation Alpha are mostly the children of Millenials. Their entertainment lifestyles are dominated by Streaming services and Smart technology.
An increase in obesity, allergies, and health problems amongst this generation has been associated to an increase in screen time.
Generation Alpha has been significantly impacted and affected by the Covid-19 Global Pandemic.
Social commentators have cited that this generation will be the wealthiest, the best educated, and the most technologically adept.
They are also the generation that will live in more blended families, rather than living with both biological parents under the same roof.
It is vital that we support, nurture, care, encourage, and build all of our children, no matter who they are, when they were born, and where they are from.
We can build the best foundations for them on which they can progress and build their own futures.
We can build on their strengths, and develop other areas to create full amd well-rounded young adults.
I have worked in schools with teenagers and young people for over 25 years now.
Over this period times have changed, especially more recently with the global pandemic.
And the issues and problems that young people face have become more serious and severe.
I would say there have been two significant changes:
1.. The global pandemic has created a deeper sense of fear and uncertainty, and an increase in the onset of anxiety, and depression for our children.
2. Depression, acute anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rates have increased in the last two years.
Over the years I have worked with many young people and their families to:
Ensure issues and problems are resolved easily and swiftly
Build resilience and motivation
Construct confidence and self-esteem
Create and improve mental wellbeing
Eradicate anxiety and depression
Eliminate stress, panic and fear
Work on mental health issues and disorders such as eating disorders, self-harm, self-sabotage, and more
Resolve issues relating to trauma, including PTSD
Addiction Recovery: Alcohol, Drug, Gambling, and more...
Having trained with Paul McKenna and Dr. Richard Bandler, and now a part of Paul McKenna's and Dr. Richard Bandler's staff trainer team, working with them in London, I use a unique and bespoke blend of techniques to help, heal, and 'happify' children and adults of all ages.
Described as a much trusted and highly sought-after member of Paul McKenna's and Dr. Richard Bandler's team I would be happy to help you and your family too.
I am a dedicated Harley Street therapist and consultant in London, as well as working in Manchester and around the world too.
So how can we help our young people?
We all have a Duty of Care to all children and young people.
Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults: Processes and Procedures; Know who to report to and the steps to be taken.
Equality and Diversity training.
Health and Safety.

If you work with, or have your own children, or young relatives, check in and talk with them regularly.
It sounds simplistic, even condescending, yet it is so important in today's society and world.
These days children spend countless hours on social media, alone in their bedrooms, isolating themselves from the outside world, and living a virtual life online.
Although this has many advantages and enables our young people to learn many new skills within technology, the adverse affects of this is that our children may lack opportunities to develop social skills, and other far-reaching life skills such as communication, empathy, and so on.
My latest book 'Source Your Inner Jet-Pack ' can help with this.
Available in hardback, paperback, and on Kindle on Amazon now:
I look forward to meeting more of you soon, and helping your family, your children, and your communities.
Thank you.
