We're back after a two month hiatus and ready to tackle The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. This week we're covering the Introduction and Chapter One. The introduction outlines how the shift from a play-based childhood to a screen-dominated one has disrupted healthy development. Haidt argues that this "great rewiring" of childhood, starting around 2010, correlates with increased anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Chapter One delves into the data, showing sharp spikes in mental health disorders, particularly among girls, post-smartphone era. He highlights how constant connectivity and curated online lives erode real-world social skills and self-esteem. The chapter sets the stage for examining solutions to restore a healthier childhood.

This week we're finishing up How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. We cover the final section, "The Next Generation," which was written by Adele Faber's daughter. We learn about how this style of parenting impacts children, and how those children later parent their own children. We also discuss tips and tricks she's learned as she's carried on her mom's work in workshops of her own. There are some great tidbits in this little section, don't miss it!
