Raising an Anxious Generation to Live Sturdy with Keith McCurdy

Anxiety is everywhere today, but what if it doesn’t always tell us the truth? In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens welcomes back Keith McCurdy for another conversation in the Live Sturdy series. Together, they unpack why anxiety has become so common in students and parents, how overcommitment and fear-based decision making fuel the problem, and what schools and families can do to cultivate resilience, wisdom, and hope in a fragile age. Keith shares practical insight from years of counseling families, students, and school leaders. From sports overload to perfectionism to the pressure-filled culture surrounding today’s kids, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful perspective on helping children grow stronger instead of more fragile. 🎧 Tune in to hear: Why anxiety often doesn’t tell us the truth The difference between helping and rescuing children How over-scheduled families unintentionally fuel stress Why students need encouragement, truth, and healthy boundaries Practical ways schools can respond to anxious students with wisdom and patience How parents can create more margin, harmony, and stability at home Join us as we discuss what it means to raise children who can live sturdy, even in an anxious world.
