Episode 16: Adulting This PhD Thinks with Jovina Ang

    • How To

In this episode, Paul Lim shares his thoughts about adulting, which essentially means how to be an adult.

The two reasons why youth are resisting growing up could be due to (i) pervasiveness of information on the internet, and (ii) fear of being cancelled.

Paul gives the following advice on how we can help the youth:

(i) Don’t cancel them or invalidate their perspectives

(ii) Be empathetic, listen have a heart of humility to learn what the youth are going through

(iii) Give them small wins to help them move along the adulting process

As for the youth, please don't assume what you are going through is unique. And do reach out to someone older for advice.
