One should listen to all parents: in the era of smartphones, social media and Big Tech, generation-defined investigation in the decline of young mental health-and a healthy, a plan for free childhood.
“With asceticism and candor, the headt eliminates the results that allow children to flow more into the virtual world. While suggestions and solutions also offer that can help protect a new generation of children.” -Shenon Carlin, Time, 100 should read 2024 books
After more than a decade of stability or improvement, mental health of adolescents drowned in early 2010. Depression, anxiety, self-loss and suicide rates increased rapidly, more than doubled on many measures. Why?
In anxious generation, social psychologist Jonathan Hadt told the facts about the epidemic of teenage mental illness, which kills many countries at the same time. He then examines the nature of childhood, in which children need to be able to mature in enabled, rich adults. The headt shows how the “play-based childhood” began in the 1980s, and how it was finally erased from the arrival of “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms, by which it has intervened in children’s social and neurological development, from lack of sleep, everything has been covered on fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social fingering, social comparison and perfection. He explains why social media harm girls more than boys and why boys are taking back from real world to virtual world, with disastrous consequences for their, their families and their societies.
The most important, Haidt releases a clear call for action. He diagnoses “problems of collective action” that implicates us, and then proposes four simple rules that can free us. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, technical companies and governments can take to eliminate the epidemic of mental illness and restore more human childhood.
Hadt has spent his career speaking in speaking the truth supported by data in the most difficult scenario-in premises struggling with culture, culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by General Jade.
