Parents were put on alert to the harmful effect of smart phones on their children last year when The Anxious Generation came out. Many already suspected it, school administrators and teachers saw it, but that book really woke up the public.
Bringing phones to school was blocked in some districts, and parents have tried to figure out how to limit their kids' use of tech. But a new author says that screens are "digital fentanyl" and inherently harmful. So what's actually needed is a "Tech Exit."
Even adults know they can easily get addicted to their phones. Children don't have all the skills or discipline or wisdom to be self-sufficient--they need their parents to parent.
