This week I am reading (listening to) The Anxious Generation - written by a Social Psychologist who discusses the impacts of device use on young people (particularly children and teens) and the consequences of ‘over supervision’ parenting in the ‘real world’ (basically not allowing kids the freedom to develop independence, build resilience etc.).
A very interesting & fairly easy read with plenty of research and implications/strategies to correct. This book better helps us to understand where the social media at 16 and ‘no phones put during school’ bans came from.
