I would also add: Parents, please hold onto your kids’ devices overnight. They need your help stop using them in time to sleep well, and they need help getting away from the constant notifications far into the night.

A number of forward thinking schools are now requiring all students to put their phones into individual lock pouches as they enter their school and they are opened and returned at end of school day. Huge resistance at first by both students and parents, but after a number of days both students and parents adapted and dramatic improvements in attention and person to personal interaction increased markedly.
As a parent, I keep being told unsettling things from all the people around me about that I should have my toddler watch TV, play with my phone, etc. They hand them to their kids and laugh while saying "They are just so addicted!" Fuck that.
Great presentation. I wish you would mention the disembodiment of kids. We have noticed in our neighborhood that--over time--we see NO kids riding bikes (which was a huge play and freedom-seeking activity in the past). Now we understand that better.
STAAR testing also started on 2011. I feel this continues to hurt the way our students learn. They were taught to prepare for tests, and continue to prepare and not learn creatively 13:08
While I agree with many of the points, the flip phone is one thing that I don't. It may seem harmless, but as a parent who started my kids out on a flip phone, unfortunately there are no parent controls you can place on it, and kids can get onto any site they want through the web browser on it. Yeah, it may seem like a hard path to take for a kid since you have to hit those buttons a thousand times just to type a word, but when a kid is determined, they will do it. I actually found smartphones to be better with the parent controls- I had none of the same issues I had with the flip phone because I could control it by blocking apps, sites and even not allowing links to be clicked. Thank you for beginning this movement! It is so hard as a stand alone parent that has more restrictions for their kids than their kids' parents.
A room without books is like a body without a soul./Books are the most silent and constant friends, the most accessible and wise counselors, and the most patient teachers./There is no friend as loyal as a book.
I disagree profoundly, the future is like that and those children will have a different behavior of ours, and they'll grow in a totally different lifestyle, and nothing can stop that. Embrace the new, Sir.
My kids are almost 11, almost 14, 16, and almost 18 and none of them have a phone. None of them get to watch social media. They don’t ask for it. They know they don’t get it. It’s a rule. Parents are so scared to say no to their kids. Your kids are NOT going to die if they don’t have a phone, they’re just not. I can’t believe how zombie-like and disgusting, rude, disrespectful these kids are now. Just stop. Let kids be kids. They don’t need social media. Breaks my heart and makes me so mad!!
We are! I think about it all the time. I started noticing it when calling any customer service today and finding people with app-based liner thinking. Scary is an understatement.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪,, interesting analysis.....I've a friend of mine who has 4 students in his Childs class transitioning to the opposite sex ,mental illness is being celebrated instead of being treated.
What is the recommendation for those busy working parents who find it easier to give a kid a phone to have some peace in the house?! I see too many parents handing the phone over even at mealtime to reduce ‘stressful’ interactions with their kids because keeping the kids quiet is easier for the overworked parent. For generations the parents got quiet time sending us kids outside til dinner time. Now parents are hyper vigilant and mostly over worked dual income families. Do you feel that those issues also may have a direct impact on the rise in mental illness in kids who are directed towards electronics and have parents who are also less present?
Greetings from Russia! I tried not to allow my son using smartphone, but the more you prohibit the more opportunities he finds to play and use smartphone. I do not understand the right and efficient way to solve the problem, though I consulted with several specialists
Haidt skews his figures by restricting the scope of his presentation to figures that go back no no further than the year 2000 to make it look as if there is a clear connection between smartphones and social media and the uptick reported depression and self-harm. In the 1980's and 1990's the recorded rates of reported youth depression and self harm were actually higher at their peak than they are now. All of this long before modern social media and smartphones even existed. And if you go back even further than that you find other peaks that are almost as high but bear in mind some of them are likely to be even higher than the official figures because in the early 20th Century depression and self-harm rates for groups such as blacks or immigrants were very likely not much figured into those studies. As for suicide, Haidt never tells you that suicide rates remained stable or regressed in other first world countries with access to social media, or that US suicide rates are almost at any even level with those of the 1950s. Gee, that whole "we are living in a time of unprecedented teen depression and self-harm" claim of Jonathan Haidt's is suddenly not looking so unprecedented now, is it?
I would say a book to talk about age groups of kids in american classrooms. Age in bone and health reports 48 years old but shrunk with technology name varied drugs looks kindergarten kid goes to kindergarten next with another name 1st grade. This population is dedicated to FBI employee listing. Where does this article show today's scenario??? Normal age group born as they are born only 3 per class.

We retain our son’s cellphone at night and place it in the kitchen along with ours. It works!
but in asian countries, thats THE ONLY time kids socialize

@@yoyoannie8772what about right after school? What do you do?
@@kicsms_science3729 I would love to but my lib wife won’t allow it

Probably a conservative school

People always easily ignore (distracted from) their real and closest threat.
I dunno about you, but I'm definitely my own biggest threat and I definitely need help distracting myself from myself.

Jonathan Haidt takes the mic at 7:00
I wonder what the world will be like when this generation is in power say 10-20 years from now. We are so screwed.
We are! I think about it all the time. I started noticing it when calling any customer service today and finding people with app-based liner thinking. Scary is an understatement.
Probably Millennials will run things for decades and then hand it off to Gen Alpha if we haven't messed them up, too.
This doesn't go far enough. Congress must pass draconian regulation against Social Media and AI NOW.

Toxic adults, parents, and guardians will influence their children, too

Interesting perspective. Could you provide a link to data representative of your point, please?
It's not just social media. It's their awareness of mental health.
Just because they aren't self harming as much, you really think they're going to turn out better as a generation?
@@DanielBjorndahl frankly there really isn't much difference

Profound
Maybe it started when parents started asking their children whether they would like their sandwiches cut in squares or triangles...
Just saying.
oh yes. That used to really get me riled
Well, when you can get defamed on twitter over anything I can see why
