The Anxious Generation - What Parents Can Do Now

NYTimes bestselling author (The Anxious Generation) and social psychologist, Haidt explores why boys have been withdrawing from the real world, into a virtual one, and why social media damages girls more than boys. He argues that the "great rewiring of childhood" has interfered with Gen Z's social and neurological development, including sleep issues, perfectionism, attention fragmentation, and social comparisons. Moderated by former SSALA Chair, Dr. Susan Kresnicka, Haidt issued a clear call to action and proposes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to solve this current health crisis.
