JONATHAN HAIDT’s blockbuster book The Anxious Generation has sparked a global conversation about the effects of smartphones and social media on young people’s development and has inspired millions of parents, teachers, and leaders to take action. Now, Haidt and CATHERINE PRICE, author of the bestselling How to Break Up with Your Phone, have joined forces to create a new book that speaks directly to kids and tweens. Their goal? To empower young people to stand up for themselves by choosing a life not dominated by screens. The accompanying educator guide includes letter-home templates to engage families in healthy screen use, technology audit surveys, and deep-dives into how technology affects our moods and how young people can use technology as a tool, not a temptation. Students will be analyzing and writing persuasive pieces to create change, all while building healthier relationships with screens and rediscovering real-life fun and independence!
