Sharing – How Stories Help Children Build Emotional Intelligence
It’s not just a lack of children’s stories that could help them develop these skills; it’s a lack of adults who can provide the example of those skills in action. It’s almost as if we don’t see the issues with emotional intelligence and mental health among young people as something older generations contributed to, by not being able to pass on our own stories as examples, because we didn’t have the skills either. We just grew up in a time when talking about it was considered taboo, and look how well that has turned out for us.

Sharing – Media literacy and mental health go hand in hand
The impacts of this lack of media literacy can be found in some of the mental health struggles we have across society, with anxiety, stress, burnout, etc. We’re overwhelmed by information with no tools to manage it effectively. We don’t know what’s true, so we keep scrolling for answers that aren’t coming.

An Underrated Risk of AI to Our Mental Health
Creative work has therapeutic benefits. Doing the work is the point, not the end result. AI can get you the end result faster, but it takes away the healing power of doing the work ourselves. I do worry that we will lose that in the rush to monetize anything we create, quickly and efficiently.
There are fantastic benefits for our minds in doing the work ourselves. I use AI for many things, but I also know how much I enjoy taking pictures, writing, teaching, etc. Why would I deprive myself of things I enjoy? That’s part of being human.
