The Problem With Labels And Why to Avoid Them With Our Kids, Ourselves, and The World
Flusterclux With Lynn Lyons: For Parents Who WorryAbout this episode
Categories and labels are appealing because they help us make sense of a complex world. And there are definitely times when a label can help. But labels can also be limiting. When we label our kids—and when teens label themselves—we risk permanent and global identities that get in the way of growth and malleability. WE'RE MAKING PLAYLISTS OF OUR EPISODES TO HELP YOU FIND RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC TOPICS.
