How We Accidentally Raised Gen Z to Need a Nap After Folding Socks (A Xennial Confession)
Let’s dive into how we might have contributed to this (with love, of course), and why we’re now living with mini-adults who need a “mental health break” after folding three pairs of socks—and how thankfully, there are solutions for all those Gen Z side effects.
1. Helicopter Parenting: Because Why Let Them Suffer?
Remember how our parents were like, “Here’s a bike. No helmet. Figure it out”? Yeah, we were like, “Not on my watch!” So, we helicoptered—swooping in anytime our precious babies so much as glanced at danger.
Fast forward, and now they’re too emotionally drained to click “Next Episode” on Netflix. Good thing I’ve discovered RLX drops—they’re packed with ingredients to help manage stress, promote relaxation, and even support sleep. Maybe now, they’ll hit the button… stress-free.
2. The Trophy Generation: Everyone’s a Winner (Even When They’re Not)
We gave them trophies for everything. “You came to soccer practice three times? Here’s a shiny statue!” Now, they make their bed once and look around like, “Where’s my prize?”
Here’s the real prize: HPY drops, a blend of hemp seed DNA and Omega-3 to boost mood and help regulate those emotions when the standing ovation doesn’t happen.
3. Screens: The Babysitter We Pretended Wasn’t
We all did it—handed them a screen to get five minutes of peace. Now, I compete with TikTok for their attention. Thankfully, BRN drops help with focus and mental clarity. Who knows? Maybe they’ll even look up from their phone long enough to hear me say, “Dinner’s ready!”
4. Feelings: We Unleashed Them All
We encouraged them to talk about their feelings—and they did. Now, “I need a mental health day” gets thrown around like confetti.
It’s okay to need balance, and that’s where HPY drops shine. They’re all about reducing anxiety, promoting emotional well-being, and fighting fatigue—without replacing their favorite self-care playlist.
5. The Over-Activity Trap: We Forgot Boredom Was Good
We signed them up for everything: sports, dance, coding camp. But we robbed them of boredom, where creativity lives. Now, they stand there like, “What do I do?”
How about try GTS drops for an energy boost to jumpstart some inspiration—or at least fold some laundry without needing a pep talk.
6. Protecting Them from Failure: Oops
We hated seeing them fail, so we stepped in. Now, they’re terrified of even trying unless success is guaranteed.
Failure builds resilience, and a little support from STP drops—perfect for tackling headaches, stress, or tension—can help them bounce back after life says, “Not this time.”
The Bottom Line: We Meant Well… But Here We Are
We wanted to give them everything we didn’t have, but in doing so, we might’ve gone a bit too far. Now, it’s on us to pull back:
- Let them fail.
- Let them be bored.
- Let them take out the trash without needing to sage their energy first.
And for those moments when they claim they’re too stressed to clean their room? Don’t forget: we have drops for that! Whether it’s headaches, energy slumps, or mental calmness, there’s a solution waiting in these incredible APLGO products.
Gen Z, if you’re reading this, I love you. But seriously… take out the trash.
