This week on the Our Kids Our Schools podcast, you get a PART 1 and PART 2, and you've made it to part 2. This episode is jammed packed full of what parents, school teachers and administrators, tech companies, and lawmakers can do to help with combating the impacts of the social media and technology on Gen Z. ...and the acknowledgement that IF we don't address this now...this will also impact Gen Alpha.

Gen Z = those born between 1997-2012

Gen Alpha = 2013-present

For the episode, Alexis welcomes back Matt Todd, the host of The Ranch podcast, for an enlightening discussion on the recent New York Times Best Seller, The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. Drawing from their vast life experiences, insightful conversations with previous guests, and their combined content expertise, Alexis and Matt delve deeply into the main points of the book. Far surpassing a mere book review, they tackle the profound impact of social media and technology on Generation Z. Together, they explore the loss of play-based childhood, the significant rewiring happening in young kids, teenagers, and early twenty-year-olds, and the alarming rise in mental health issues such as anxiety and depression among this generation.

In this episode, Alexis and Matt bring forth real-time solutions that parents, schools, and state leaders can deploy to address this pressing social issue. And the good news? We can do something about it—but it will require collective action. Let’s join forces for the sake of our kids and work towards creating healthier environments that foster healthy minds, bodies, and hearts. Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that aims to make a difference.
