Shari Simmons, MSW, LCSW discusses the cluster traits of the I-Generation and implications for parents raising them. She will also discuss how this generation of youth is being impacted by current life events. I-Gen has been defined as children born between 1995-2012. Key aspects of this generation are increased media consumption, the love for electronics, the need to multitask and the desire to use electronic communication over phone calls or face-to-face communication.
