Today we’re talking with Northbrook Junior High Principal Dr. Scott Meek and Greenbriar Principal Dr. Ginny Hiltz about their recent Family Engagement presentation on what is currently number 1 on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list, “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt.

This book has resonated with parents around the world and certainly here in Northbrook. Given the high interest of this issue, we thought this would be a great venue to share the key insights from their book discussion.
