Understanding why today’s students often seem more fragile and anxious is a question every educator is asking. Jonathan Haidt’s book, The Anxious Generation, provides powerful insights into the cultural and societal shifts contributing to these challenges, particularly the impact of early exposure to smartphones and social media. This workshop will equip educators with the knowledge to become advocates for healthier childhoods by sharing this vital information with parents. Together, we can empower families to make informed decisions—like delaying the introduction of cell phones and social media until at least age 16—to foster stronger, more resilient students in our community.
