- Bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt joins Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager to unveil the alarming effects of excessive screen time on children. In his latest book “The Anxious Generation,” Haidt talks makes a connection between the loss of a play-based childhood and the rise of the phone-based childhood. "When kids are rooted in real relationships, they are not washed away by social media," he says.

My six boys didn't have devices until they absolutely needed one. They survived. They're doctors, lawyers, engineers, and computer scientists.
Parents CAN parent. If your kid says "Everyone's doing it" you can say "Well, I am only responsible for your well being." My nieces were the in the minority of kids who didn't have social media and cell phones (they had the gizmo) in middle school. In response to their 13 year old daughters saying "I am the only one," their parents cared more about my nieces' health. Now in high school, my nieces are so engaged with friends (who are lovely), sports (lettered freshman yr), activities (volunteer, etc), and academics that they are choosing on their own not to be on social media.
There's a sign I posted where I taught: No Phone Zone. Phones had to be off or stored elsewhere.
Problem is the train has left the station for our society. My rising 3rd grader won’t have a smartphone or be allowed on social media till high school but she will be in minority. Wish me luck
Stay on course. You're doing the smart thing
I ended up retiring early, my principal was pushing me to have the children on tablets and to teach using a smart board. I was teaching kindergarten These tools are very beneficial with the children or an upper grades, but not early education.
It's a song born to have other children learn to play, interacting with others and making discovery on their own.
Couldn't it be addressed by the parents not buying phones?
Most people drive their kids to school. I don't understand why they need a phone to begin with. There's never a moment where kids have unsupervised play, this is a relic of the past. The 80s born Millennials were the last to have this kind of childhood and there were no cellphones for us. Our parents just had to accept the fact that they couldn't constantly monitor our every action. It's excruciating for parents to know that, but it's also just a fact of life. That's why people say it takes a village to raise a child.
Both parents are working and everyone is living for themselves. No one is paying attention to children anymore.
Oh for the days when a phone was just for talk and not a hand held computer
2012 instagram days were easy but now it's toxic
Why are the hosts interrupting the guest so much?
This is so obvious............................why did you need this random author to say this. Oh and why did the study drop off at 2019 and didn't go through covid. Get it together folks. This shouldn't need to be told to a parent.
He’s not some random autor, he’s Dr. Jonathan Haidt. A professor, social psychologist PhD. Author of 6 books. He’s analyzed the data and researched for 10 years the effects of social media and smartphone use on the mental health of kids and teens at NYU. He’s been on many speaking stages and podcasts talking about this sabotage of youth mental health for years.
Not everyone intuitively knows how to parent, especially if they had poor role models. Hence the need for solid, practical advice.
Yes!!! no smartphone before high school!!!
The effect of phone-based childhood? Increased ignorance/stupidity?
And what Richard Louv termed 'nature deficit disorder.' In addition to getting outdoors, sunshine, etc., being in nature lends itself to observing things in a sustained way. But in addition to other reasons for "ADHD," without spending time in nature, their attention spans have dwindled.
.....stupid parents are to be blamed, not the kids...
@Jenna: You really needed research to find out smartphones are no good at any age?
Don't be dense.
I don't think his solution goes far enough. I say no smartphone before 18. Get a simple flip phone for your kids
The presenters are too masculine and over bearing.
Very important information. Thank you so much. This inspired me to write my first Children’s book 📚 featured in the Washington post in 2019 @booksbyuchechi
