Here's a link to a fascinating interview with Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation, which will be published in March 2024.
The title of the article is "Parents Need To Hear This: Why Schools Should Outlaw Cell Phones Now".
Hear what he has to say about the result of cell phones in the hands of almost every child.
A phone lockers a good idea? Haidt says phone-free schools "will promote mental health, social development and learning."
The book is already on my "must read" list.
Haidt highly recommends From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life, by Arthur C. Brooks. Check this one out, too.
