The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt has become a popular book among parents, leaders, and anyone investing in the next generation. And while Haidt isn't a believer, the statistics he shares about the connection between phone-based childhood and anxiety is worth looking at. The impact we are seeing with teens (especially teen girls) is undeniable. 

However, we'd be mistaken to say social media and phones is only a teenager problem. Let's talk about the costs that come with these things and boundaries that we can put into place... today.

Don't worry, we'll be back in Season 7 for part 2! In the meantime, grab your own copy and let us know what you're learning. Feedback and questions can be sent to [email protected].
