Jean M. Twenge Quote: “Wanting to feel safe all of the time can also lead to wanting to protect against emotional upset – the concern with “emotional safety” somewhat unique to iGen.

That’s where things get dicey – both for iGen and for the older generations struggling to understand them.”

Jean M. Twenge Quote: “Adolescence – the time when teens begin to do things adults do – now happens later. Thirteen-year-olds – and even 18-year-olds – are less likely to act like adults and spend their time like adults. They are more likely, instead, to act like children – not by being immature, necessarily, but by postponing the usual activities of adults. Adolescence is now an extension of childhood rather than the beginning of adulthood.”

Jean M. Twenge Quote: “No matter what the cause, the result is the same: iGen teens are less likely to experience the freedom of being out of the house without their parents – those first tantalizing tastes of the independence of being an adult, those times when teens make their own decisions, good or bad.”

Jean M. Twenge Quote: “Some suggest that this cocoon mentality is behind recent campus trends such as “trigger warnings” to alert students that a reading or lecture material might be disturbing and “safe spaces” where students can go if they are upset by a campus speaker’s message. One safe space, for example, featured coloring books and videos of frolicking puppies, neatly connecting the idea of safe spaces with that of childhood.”
