Book Discussion "The Anxious Generation, How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness" by Jonathan Haidt
Kids' anxiety is spiking. Author Jonathan Haidt links this to the shift from playground fun to phone addition after 2010, hurting their development. Haidt says phones are "rewiring" kids, causing a mental health crisis. We need collaboration between parents, schools, and tech to fix this. Let's talk solutions for less screen time and more real-world experience.
