  • Summary

  • Jonathan Haidt has been on Joe Rogan, featured in articles in the New Yorker and has seen his book The Anxious Generation sky rocket to #1 on the NY Times best selling list. Jonathan outlines a few solutions to the struggles of this generation which to my mind are only band-aid solutions.


    Preventing kids from accessing social media and smart phones until a reasonable age feels appropriate – but where is the incentive for the overworked, burnt out and constantly distracted parent to implement these restrictions? The excuse from these parents is understandable – if they don’t see behavioural issues with their children, then why implement these boundaries? Instead, social reform with social media and smart phones should start with broad education to parents and kids. We must look beyond these short-term fixes and teach people, both kids and parents, how to build better relationships with technology – not just pretend it doesn’t exist until they are “old enough”.
