The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt examines the impact of what he terms "the great re-wiring of childhood," a phenomenon driven by the enhanced availability of technology. Jonathan argues that this shift has led to a range of developmental and mental health challenges encourntered by children today. Jonathan focuses on the roles of smartphones, social media, and over parenting, ultimately suggesting 4 guidelines aimed at fostering healthier childhood experiences.

1. No smartphones before high school

2. No social media before 16

3. Phone free schools

4. More independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world
