In this episode, the New Hope Solebury School District’s secondary school counselors and social workers discuss their thoughts on the book, The Anxious Generation, by Dr. Jonathan Haidt. The Anxious Generation examines the growing mental health crisis among today’s youth. Dr. Haidt highlights how a decline in play through overprotective parenting and a culture of safety reduces the opportunities for young people to develop resilience. Dr. Haidt then explains how the increased phone use among children, especially due to the impact of social media, has significantly and directly increased their level of anxiety and depression and shows how boys and girls are impacted very differently. Finally, the author urges collective actions that governments, schools, and parents can incorporate to promote critical thinking in kids to combat their increasing levels of anxiety and depression.
