carmenrlawrence 's review for:
Childhood, Interrupted
by Sanjay Gupta
As a non parent, I really loved this short piece about perspective, neurochemicals, and resilience. I think there are solid parenting tips/reminders and calming sentiments.
My favorite part was the author sharing his background as having grown up in the 70s: in a safe town, after Vietnam war, in a world without terrorism and global warming and domestic threats. He details growing up in a world he thought would continue forever, certainty, stability, ease.
That is really not my millennial experience. Born during Desert Storm, witnessing acts of foreign and domestic terrorism on a shockingly regular basis, climate change a constant threat, watching animals become extinct and knowing it is the fault of my species. It really made it profoundly clear how we live in such a different world than Gen X and Boomers.
