In this eye-opening episode, hosts Judi Franco and Corie Adjmi welcome esteemed guest and leading social psychologist, Jon Haidt, recognized for his work on the impact of technology on children. The conversation centers around Jon’s 2024 best-selling book, 'The Anxious Generation,' which explores the negative effects of social media and smartphones on children's mental health. They discuss the rise in anxiety, depression, and other issues among youths since the widespread adoption of smartphones in 2012, and highlight the importance of policy changes, such as phone-free schools. They also discuss how collective action for policy change has really made a difference in several countries and US states in addressing the root of the problem. Jon’s book has led to a movement to reclaim childhood and the physical play that is an essential element of that. And his new book, ‘The Amazing Generation’ is targeted directly at kids and teens to empower them on how to reclaim these elements of childhood for themselves. If you are looking for practical parenting advice on managing screen time and the benefits of limiting exposure to social media, this episode is for you.
