Why the kids are so focused on their lives, even if it’s not easy

It’s a common misconception that kids aren’t interested in life in a vacuum.

They’re interested in how their life will change over time.

But what about the life of the child?

Are they actually looking for a “good” life in order to be happy?

If so, are they actually doing it for the right reasons?

And if so, is there anything to be learned about the purpose of our lives from this?

For this story, we asked a panel of experts and students from a variety of disciplines to answer these questions.

The panelists: Sara Blaine, PhD, associate professor of social work, University of North Carolina at Charlotte; and Lauren Rieder, associate principal, Edgewater Children’s Hospital, Edgewood, MD.

Sara Blain is an associate professor in the School of Social Work at the University of South Carolina at Columbia.
