Walton Family Foundation Gen Z Research
Walton Family Foundation and Gallup have partnered to study Gen Z's lives and experiences.
Parenting Gen Z: Navigating Boundaries, Complex Emotions and Tough Conversations
The latest survey from Walton Family Foundation and Gallup, in partnership with clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour, provides greater insight into parents' experiences raising Gen Z, how parents and children contend with their emotions, and the coping mechanisms and parenting support Gen Z prefers when struggling. The results reveal that Gen Z's emotional lives and parent-child dynamics are complicated.
Most Gen Z children are happy and enjoy their lives -- but sizeable segments also struggle with stress, anxiety, sadness and loneliness.
Parents find it difficult to talk about topics they worry most about, such as their child's mental health, feelings and experiences on social media -- but their children overwhelmingly find those conversations to be helpful.
To better understand the most critical challenges of being a Gen Z child or their parent, Walton Family Foundation and Gallup asked both groups to share what was most difficult or important about their experiences as parents or children.
