Book Description:
In a rapidly changing world, Raising Gen Alpha helps parents, pastors, and educators understand, love, and lead today’s children.
Gen Alpha is growing up in a world very different from the one their parents did. Born between 2010-2024, this generation faces intense pressure from school, social media, mental health struggles, and the rapid rise of technology. Despite their deep desire to make a difference, parents, educators, and faith leaders often feel overwhelmed by the growing generational divide. How do we bridge the gap to make a connection and ensure these children and teens feel seen, heard, valued, cared for, and safe?
Using the acronym ALPHA (Anxious-minded, Leading influencers, Pandemic-impacted, Hyperconnected, and AI-shaped) to explain the challenges and experiences that have shaped them, author Dave Boden equips readers to disciple Gen Alpha with clarity, compassion, and confidence. By understanding the world today’s children are growing up in, we’re better prepared to equip them with the faith and insight they need to thrive.
Balances cultural insight with biblical wisdom so that readers are spiritually grounded and given practical ways to engage and help the next generation.
Provides strategies to address challenges like anxiety, social media pressure, and the influence of AI.
Designed to spark meaningful conversations and equip adults to engage with Gen Alpha in a way that encourages growth, faith, and resilience.
