Anxiety has become one of the defining struggles of this generation. In Part 2 of The Anxious Generation, Jake McCandless continues his conversation with Temple Carson, a Licensed Professional Counselor–Supervisor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist–Supervisor, and Registered Play Therapist–Supervisor who teaches in the graduate counseling program at John Brown University. In this powerful conversation, Temple helps parents go beyond awareness to practical steps — recognizing warning signs, understanding when therapy is needed, and creating rhythms of connection that strengthen emotional and spiritual health in kids. She highlights key shifts in parenting culture, the impact of technology, and why connection is king. Her message is clear: parents don’t have to be experts, but they do have to be present. This conversation will equip you with real tools to help your kids face anxiety with resilience and faith.
