As a society, we like to believe that each generation will be better off than the last. That optimism keeps us moving forward. But if we pause for a moment, do a few things feel less reassuring than we’d like them to be?

Take the rise in allergies among children. Is it simply better diagnosis and greater awareness, or are kids genuinely being exposed to more irritants than ever before? And what about mental health? When millennials say “in our time,” is it nostalgia speaking or are today’s children facing pressures that are fundamentally different? Is this generation becoming softer, or are they navigating a world that’s objectively more complex?

These questions stayed with us.Who better to turn to than Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh. Dr Santosh is a pediatrician and a social activist who has taken up the cause of authenticity and transparency in child care extremely strongly. The host team is led by Sakshi Verma, a media veteran and a concerned parent, and joined by Kinshuk Mishra, cofounder, awenest and a father of a new born.
