A new viral trend known as “kidulting” is reshaping conversations around
mental health among millennials. Kidulting refers to the practice of
engaging in activities typically associated with childhood or adolescence
as a way to alleviate stress and reconnect with a carefree mindset. From
coloring books and video games to playground visits, millennials are
embracing these nostalgia-inducing activities to counter the pressures of
adult life. While some experts applaud the trend for its potential to
reduce stress, others emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to
mental well-being that addresses underlying concerns.
