We do tend to compare our own childhood experiences with that of modern children and think they should correlate - but actually other than developmentally, they don't.
Can you imagine being a child where you are expected to have Social Media?
Can you imagine living in a world as a child where you can tracked a device in your pocket (Smartphone) at all times?
Can you imagine living, as a child, in a world where any kind of sexual act can be pulled up at will?
Can you imagine living, as a child, in a world where real-world violence is pushed at you by algorithms?
Can you imagine living, as a child, in a world where people can contact you 24/7?
Can you imagine living, as a child, in a world where you can be bullied anonymously, 24/7?
Can you imagine living, as a child, in a world that publicly judges who you are, what you wear, what you eat, and more?
Can you imagine, as a child, living with people who do a quick search and find out what you were doing a year ago? Two years ago?
Can you imagine, as a child, living in a world where the family photo album is online for all to see?
Can you imagine, as a child, being able to participate in public life and discourse, in a completely unfiltered way?
I could go on - but the fact is, anxiety for children is ever increasing. I am thankful that I didn't grow up with the pressures of today. I think I'd of gone crazy.
