Dear Reader:

Will the kids be alright?

Adults have always, and will always, view “what the kids are up to” with a mix of curiosity, confusion, and apprehension.

But to what extent can we chalk up today’s trends to age-old generational differences in an age of ubiquitous technology and “social” media? And what can we do to cultivate virtue in our families and communities as attention spans continue to shorten?

FIRST THINGS editor R. R. Reno and Villanova University theologian Anna Moreland stand at the ready with some answers . . . and what they have to say may surprise you.

Join your fellow FIRST THINGS readers for the fourth annual Chicago Conversation on Wednesday, April 16 at 6 p.m.: Cultivating Virtue in the Age of TikTok.

Tickets to this public conversation are free of charge with a suggested donation of $25. Sponsorships are also available starting at $1,000.
