Overcoming Jonathan Haidt's Anxious Generation and Parenting Kids in Faith Beyond a Phone-based Childhood

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Dr. Kathy discusses how Gen Z is the first generation to experience puberty with smartphones, referred to as "portals in their pockets," which draw them into an addictive and unsuitable digital world. The discussion is inspired by Jonathan Haidt's new book, "The Anxious Generation," which delves into the impact of a phone-based childhood on mental health. Haidt highlights concerning trends, such as girls visiting emergency rooms due to feelings of inadequacy from social media, while boys are getting injured less due to decreased outdoor play. The episode explores the implications of these findings on the well-being of today's youth.
