Anxious Gen Z 3

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

"Right now, children are going off to college and into the workplace without having been given the opportunity to risk, fail, and have the stamina to try again. That, Haidt says, is setting them up for a much deeper and tragic kind of failure," and widespread anxiety.

Between 2010 and 2015 childhood went through a great re-wiring when "adolescents traded in their flip phones for smartphones, which were loaded with social media platforms . . "

Author Jonathan Haidt is attempting to start a movement toward "rolling back phone-based childhood and restoring play-based childhood."
