Bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt has dedicated his career to speaking truth and wisdom in some of the most challenging spaces - communities polarised by politics and religion and university campuses mired in culture wars. Now he turns his attention to what he sees as a perfect storm of factors that are causing a collapse in mental health among teenagers today. According to the American College Health Association, since 2010 anxiety among American college students has increased by 134%, depression by 106%, bipolar disorder by 57%, and anorexia by 100%.
In April 2024 Haidt came to the Intelligence Squared stage where in conversation with BBC presenter Sarah Montague he drew on his new book The Anxious Generation, which has shot to No 1 in the Sunday Times bestsellers. He argued that the decline of free play in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers. He showed how, between 2010 and 2015, as teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom, as parents over-supervised every aspect of their children’s lives offline, depriving them of the face-to-face experiences with their peers which they need to become strong and self-governing adults. In short, childhood got rewired.
Haidt argued that it isn’t too late to put the genie back in the bottle. Against the backdrop of the growing movement to ban smartphones in schools, he drew on traditional wisdom and cutting-edge research to offer practical advice to parents, teachers and teenagers,

I'm just glad this message is finally reaching some people!
Crushed it Jonathan Haidt. I'm nearly a media psychologist.
Thank you ❤ watch our clips too
I bought the book and read it, I thought it was a great book and I am sure he is not right about everything. That being said he makes an honest and analytical approach to solving this difficult problem.
Love this talk! Wow thanks Jonathan Haidt!
Thankyou.
Amen Jonathan Haidt! Thank you for your work!
Little side note, for Mr. Haidt, on the last comment about the lack of fear in videogames. There can be a lot of fear in videogames too, but it's more psychological type than the fear of a fall.
keep supporting, Thanks.
Yes true but he was referring to a different kind of fear that boys need to learn in order to,understand their own strengths.
What an annoying moderator/interviewer, wasting time attempting to “falsify” (and how well is that going?) JH’s excellent, well researched work and insights, instead of exploring the findings as a “friendly interviewer”, that inspires dialogue.
much needed discussion. . .
What a bunch of garbage! Young people today have bigger issues than social media and overprotective parents. Massive wealth inequality, corporate hegemony, government corruption, housing and job insecurity, high energy and food prices, high taxes, stagnant wages, expensive housing, inflation, climate change, pollution, global war, social disintegration, abuse, neglect, exploitation and indifference. The luck ones come from loving homes that are financially sound however most of them do not.
What a bunch of ninnies, what have they got be worried about! They need to suck it up and stop whining! Everything's fine. Work harden and all your dreams will come true. Well, maybe for some us. The dystopian horror that awaits us is only the stuff of science fiction. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Thanks!
The interviewer thinks most children don't have unlimited use - hilarious! What planet does she live on?
When's Part 2
Where is part two?
No fear in video games? Play horror genre games home alone at night with lights out. Still not doing anything to you? Get super high and play horror games alone at night with lights out. :D

I think he means the fears connected to the real life, such as killings or injuries in playing video games don’t cause one’s physical pains as consequences……so no fear of physical sufferings experienced by the person, who will develop different perspectives and life experiences towards fighting, killings and other human sufferings…..coming from all sorts of conflicts.
A fantastic example of missing the point
Same is in Pakistan
The wealthy kids at ski resorts are doing fine. They coalesce at the terrain park & film each other doing crazy tricks, then post it to social media: Lincoln Loops, Misty Flips, Mute grabs, 3, 5, 9 spins. With easy access to video they can see their progress immediately & share their experiences. Now let's just pause a moment for all the children responsible for the textiles that we're wearing.

please, add subtitles on your website. for now, you are proposing a paying service inferior to the free version on youtube...
Sure
How to make a book popular? Give a generation a name.
It's hard to limit kids' use because tech companies are making social media and video games addictive. It's like putting a kid in a casino. It turns them into ravenous gambling addicts. They scream and throw stuff when you take their iPad.
We need to factor in the role of the guardian adult. Modern parenting is more complex but within the environment, adults need to be choiceful about when to introduce gadgets and tv to children as well as the time of which they are allowed. This is not the era to make children "happy". It's ever more important to be making conscious decisions. Companies are hollow, they cannot bear the brunt of everything.

Sorry, but your comment is disturbingly weak. Be a parent…
So be a parent and exert discipline through guiding, leading, motivating whatever it takes. That's the role of a parent. Or read the book together with them!
What is wrong with this interviewer? Why does she think her only job is to 'push' and be devil's advocate and make herself look smarter? And her comment 'most children I know don't have unrestricted use' is ridiculous on so many levels? Her snobbiness and disconnect from normal people is showing.
Anxiety comes from channels like this and journalists who do nothing but stress everyone out about alleged problems all the time. You don't give people a break to breath and to return to their personal reality which has not a single one of the alleged problems that they are constantly bombarded with by news journalism. People have none of the problems in their personal lives they just carry the burden you give them with your complaints and issues and agendas and ideas. You all can't just leave people alone to enjoy their life you have to stress them out all the time. You've even managed to convince them that they need to pay attention to issues and journalism for absolutely no reason when its not relevant to them at all. Everyone needs to take a long break from journalism. Block all sources so you can at least enjoy your life from now onward.
wow
What a ridiculous response!!

An ostrich with it's head in the sand.
This woman’s hair is the thickest I’ve seen. More hair on that head than my entire extended family put together
Parents over parent, then feel burned out, so they give the kid tik tok to get a break.
I work in a school, and I would say no, most kids are online for hours and hours a day, from grades 4 to 8 and on. It increases each year.

is that the mad old tory crab that presents world at one?
