Reflections on Chapter 2 of "The Anxious Generation" by Jonathan Haidt
I'm offering insights into the significant themes of this important book.
Did you know play is a basic human right?
Many children miss out on play due to a 'phone-based' childhood.
This issue extends to parents, who may spend more time on their phones than interacting with their children.
Haidt identifies 2010 as pivotal, marking a decline in real-world socializing and a rise in virtual interactions. This shift impacts children's growth and development, affecting crucial developmental milestones and the parent-child bond. He also highlights how children may prefer to model superficial celebrities, prioritizing online popularity over real-world experiences.
