In the late 90's I used to babysit on weekdays for a friend's son while the parents were working. She was one of these nervous mothers who wouldn't let this little boy even play at the playground across the street because he might get hurt. This was so different than the way I was raised when I would leave the house to play and wander and stay gone all day. I started taking him to the playground while she was at work because he would watch out the window at the other kids playing across the street and would cry because he wanted to go there, which would cause him to be angry and difficult for the whole day. After I started taking him there he would be calm and happy when we got back home and this change was amazing to me. This convinced me that children need to be outside playing with other children, and not inside the house with their nervous parents.

I have definitely noticed how addictive this technology can be and I'm a boomer so I grew up in a wonderful time to be a child where we roamed everywhere and explored everywhere. I feel so lucky to have had that. But now I find I am drawn to the internet. I am not using my phone as much. I tend to keep it on mute and at home it doesn't stay with me. I use the camera and the Notes quite a lot and of course I check my email but I don't do much else on it. I try to search for interesting things on the net - like this talk but of course I waste a lot of time looking at useless stuff. Mind you I also wasted hours an hours watching stupid TV programs for years and years. The thing with the internet is that one has to employ critical thinking and question everything one reads and sees. As a tool it can be useful but not when it starts taking up more and more of our time keeping us from interpersonal experiences.

As an adult without children, I have always been fascinated by the instinct I have to keep an eye on unattended children while in public. It is almost as if adults are programmed to take a small amount of responsibility for the safety of everyone else's children while in public. I have only rarely needed to intervene to help a child but it's comforting to know that humans have a built-in social safety network to keep children safe in the community.

At 8 years old my son went out the door in the pouring rain with 60 bucks to get an umbrella to attend his great grandmother’s funeral. Yeah 60 bucks is a lot, but I didn’t know how much an umbrella costs and I was ironing a shirt, because I’m a single dad. He needed the independence and I needed him to be independent. He came home, with an umbrella and was so proud. Everyday after that he went to the store on his own. The neighbours all got to know him. He got to know them and there’s so many boomers out there. Later I was told by the employees at the store he bought the umbrella. They said this wet 8 year old boy walked in, grabbed and umbrella, slammed down 60 bucks and walked out. They had to call him back to give him back 45 bucks.

I was born in 2004. My parents never bought me a phone or computer... but that didn't stop me from working for neighbors and family members to earn enough cash to buy one when I was around 14yo. You can literally get a smart phone for 30$ from dollar general. No Cellular contract necessary. Just use Wi-Fi and your good to go. No monthly payments either. To be fair to my parents though... they did completely disconnect the home Wi-Fi service so most of my growing up I never had internet access except for using my parents phone hotspot when permitted. For me, access to technology has been one the greatest blessings as I am now fluent in 7 programming languages and have learned to LOVE mathematics.

I grew up in what he describes as "the decline of play-based childhood" (having a very restrictive mother) and I was always so envious of others who were able to just run around, go out, explore, and do whatever they want. However, now I realize that I was at least lucky I didn't grow up during the phone-based childhood. When I was growing up the internet was still very new, and still mostly a repository of knowledge. It became my way to explore, and probably is one of the reasons I'm so good at programming/engineering and able to teach myself almost anything. Now kids learn nothing and just have propaganda shoved down their mouth on TikTok.

Phenomenal talk from Haidt as usual. His research, articles, and books are incredibly important in this digital day and age. I was born in 86. I have fond memory of playing with friends during my elementary and high school years: building stuff with Legos, riding on our bikes, hanging out at the park, improvising street hockey, gym badminton, playing D&D, renting movies, listening to music, later on trying out beer and weed - and during all that, quite importantly, talking about anything and everything, laughing, and messing around. Sure, I had game consoles, which I loved to play with, but those were 1) one thing among many others, and 2) just another opportunity for in-person social, as there was no online play back then (all couch co-op). I can't imagine what it must be like to grow up on smartphones as a kid and teen. Just school life alone with social media added into the mix must be absolute hell. Offline free-range childhood makes so much sense. Plus, I would argue that learning how to solve conflicts and listen to other points of views is *crucial* to happen sooner rather than later.

Brilliant research and presentation. Food for thought and action. As a refugee from Ukraine, over the last two years the life priorities have shifted a lot from healthy childhood to survival. My family and many others have become single mom because the men are either in the military or are otherwise not let out of the country. There are millions of people whose kids will be let free range on social media with unlimited phone time because parents (or rather mom) just doesn't have time for quality time, and opportunities for normal play are limited due to relocation and language barriers. There are millions of people affected by this ordeal, and this presentation is very awakening.

In his way, Jonathan Haidt is, to me, the intellectual vanguard who warns us about what is among us and what is coming and what damage has been visited on the population. His explanations explain a great deal about the behaviour characteristics that are so evident in todays world. I predate the current cohort of individuals by many years. I experienced none of what is taking place and, in hindsight, I would never have invested my time in the pursuits outlined by Dr. Haidt. The big question to me is, how do we get out of this generational hole that is eating a hole in our democracy and intelligence such that we have the ill informed voting when they have no idea of what is true and logical?

Born in the tail end of millenials. My memories of unsupervised childhood play are always dangerous games which stop when one of the boys hurts himself enough to cry. We awkwardly wait while he calmed down and moved on to the next game. ie falling down a tree, or hitting a rock while sliding down river rapids. I also walked to school and I remember a few precious moments where some parents dropped their kids 10min earlier and we would play together in the schoolyard before class.

I was born with mobility impairment - I can walk, but with a severe limp. So my parents were very protective of me throughout my childhood. Even so, they still allowed me to spend time outside playing soccer with the other kids on the street until my feet were literally bleeding lol. I would go to the neighbor's basically anytime I wanted (he's my best friend still, we're in our 30s), and when visiting my granda in the small country town where she lived me and my cousins would literally roam the streets by ourselves all day long, occasionally stopping at the lan house . In my teens me and my friends would secretly climb up to the rooftop of a museum near my school every friday afternoon to watch the sunset. I've never told my parents about it as I know they'd freak out. Even with all that I'm a very very anxious person, so I can't imagine how bad it's going to be for these kids.

There’s something to be said for using social and political tools to help you parent. If there’s consensus among parents in a class or school to delay giving a phone, it’s many factors easier to hold the boundary than if you’re going it alone, swimming against the tide, repeatedly saying no to your child, and potentially socially isolating them. School policies and state policies help set the standards, too. Why insist parents take on the fight alone and not have all the tools to help out? I’ve also heard from parents who haven’t gotten their kids phones, but the kids have access to their friends’ phones. It can’t just be individual family units taking this on. There has to be a community standard.

Born 1990, I think I was about 10 when my dad first said, "Nah, I'm not walking with you to Girl Scouts. It's up the road and around the corner go by yourself." I had been a sick child and only recently got well, so I was pretty terrified and sincerely thought I wouldn't remember the way there by myself. But I had been raised to be obedient so I went, in fear and trembling, and made it there and back safely. And that was the last time I was scared to walk around town by myself! (I was still afraid of every new experience until I was 17 and flew to Japan by myself, only my second time in an airplane ever. After that, nothing was scary.) Some kids are naturally anxious and need a parent to firmly tell them that they are going to be fine and they need to do this. I'm glad my parents did that for me

Here’s a great example of the absurdity of this… 13:18 playing tag with a “one finger touch” rule will inevitably result in more injury. You think kids play tag standing still? No, they run around. If you try to tag your friend with one finger while running… you don’t think you’re going to break your finger eventually?

What do we do, as employers, with the group of kids who already grew up with all of the anxiety since 2012 and are now messed up members of the work force? I understand how to fix childhood going forward 9f we follow your advice, but there is an entire generation of literally DAMAGED people who are bringing their anxieties to the business world and are causing harms to non-anxious people.

My mother wasn't happy that my village school allowed children to play on what was probably an unsafe slide and other equipment. So when they refused to stop children crossing the deserted country road to the playground each lunchtime, she banned my younger brother from going there, so he was forced to stay alone in the school yard. At the time i knew this was completely wrong and that she should have asked him to stay with his friends regardless of the tiny amount of potential danger involved. She still insists to this day she was correct in her decision.

I have seen these effects in my college classroom, from around 2013-2014 to the present. But what I have seen more often is an alarming increase in the numbers of high schoolers taking my chemistry course for college credit, as well as a majority (typically 80%) of traditional students, that seem to think they know more about the subject (or any subject) than I and my colleagues. I hold three science degrees from three respected (offline) universities, yet daily these American students attempt to convince me that they know more about my expertise than I do. 18-21 years on the planet vs 47-60 years on the planet. And they show no humility while they do so. It is a daily hassle, unlike the trials and tribulations in the classroom before 2013. They are somewhat frightening, and that sentiment increases every semester. It is becoming almost impossible to have faith in their outcomes as well as in the society I will grow old among/within. I see seventy year-old parents having to take care of their 40-50 year-old offspring, ten years from now.

"When adults stop trusting each other with their kids, disaster" This was something I saw after living in Spain. If you go to anplaypark or plaza where kids are playing, the kids are playing together, the adults are all sitting somewhere over there, talking, having a coffee etc, and they are all collectively keeping an eye and trusting each other to do the same. And if you're in a queue and the kid with his mum in front of you smiles or makes a face at you and you respond in kind, the parent smiles at you too, rather than thinking you're some perv/kidnapper.

Great lecturer. Something I have been saying for a long time, but now it is also showen in statistics. I would have also like to see the family situation measured, that is divorce rates over the time, superimposed to the phone/internet graphic, and also how adults have been affected of this technology, and how this have then affected their adult relations and then their relations to their kids. I think besides the phone and no risk parents, also some kind of laziness is there from the parents, especially alone parents that just easily stuck an ipad in front of the child so it would be quit or sit still.

For all the greatness of new technology we always have to ask “what is the downside?”. While we may be able to talk to people on the other side of the world, there is an epidemic of loneliness that is at the root of all of this. Humans are social physical creatures and when the “energies” are not genuinely garnered, there will be loneliness. My book “Smartphones Don’t Give Hugs “ in a primer way discusses how to deal with this reality.

I’m not disagreeing but there is one major new variable that’s out there… and that’s the access to porn and the new weirdos popping up. How do we teach our children to sense sick disgusting people and how to sense genuine trust? Because I was out and about at 5 years old. The difference is I came from a violent home so knew how to detect weirdos in a messed up way. How do you teach children to sense this normally?

It is shocking that very few people are addressing this problem. NO, the mental health of our population does not come after your ROI, what's the point of making money in a collapsing system. No, the mental health of our children is not to be sold to the highest bidder! We HAVE to as a society step up and solve this epidemic of a degrading civilization that is cannabilizing itself out of existence in a reckless pursuit of profit. I personally am trying to do my part, I worked on developing an app that serves as the "Digital portal back into real life". This motivates people to get out of their comfort zone and find someone new to meet face-to-face within 5 minutes and try to socialize and work on their social skills. It's very hard to go against the norm and to fight a bad trend. But we will keep working hard on the project and hope to make a difference.

We have seen an 11 year who broke his hip. He’s a big tech kid and doesn’t engage in impact play. Bones need impact to grow stronger, that’s why old ladies get osteoporosis, because the bones need impact to stay strong. A loss of impact play makes kids physically weaker. Think about the head injuries in sports and how they are more severe in recent times?? Their skulls are actually thinner and weaker.

wrong. if you get injury at young age, it will stay with you for life. i use to do calisthenics at young age and ended up with permanent injuries. i get arm weaknesses from time to time because of the injury. the real problem is that humans are exploiting wildlife and forcing animals and plants to suffer in domestication where all organisms lack natural selection. i sympathize more for animals and plants than i do humans because humans are responsible for their problems. humans continue having kids despite all the exploitation and suffering thats been inflicted. plus humans have alot more freedom than animals and plants.

I think a lot of parents are listening and making a distinction between Smart Phones (bad) and all the other media "boxes". Television, computers, tablets, or letting their kids use the parents' phones, but not allowing them to have their own. I know, it's a pretty clear self-deception, but I also know it's happening. I also take exception with what I see as unbridled and unsupervised freedom that he advocates. I'm sure he doesn't see it this way, but it seems like that child is unprotected. With far fewer children having siblings, they are guaranteed to be on their own.

As he's contrasting this idea of a play-based childhood with this idea of a phone-based childhood, it would be great if he could say a bit more about why he's effectively dismissive of all the play that can be engaged in through phones - a bit more about why he concludes that kind of play is just inherently less valuable than embodied play.

You can't engineer social change. You can certainly cause it, but the final results will always be different from intentions. Society is a complex non-linear emergent phenomenon, our linear minds can't simply use our linear logic to achieve desired effects from a specific policy decision. The bigger the scope of the policy, and the higher the aim, the less it will coincide with initial intentions. Phone bans won't achieve the goals of restoring the past. Restoration has been tried many times throughout history, it never works.

I suppose I didn't have a lot of risk in my childhood in the 1970's. Much of my fond memories are tending the vegetable garden with my mother, and us watching The Young and the Restless together after we got done working. I had SOME play with my brother, but he was 9 years older than me, so I did watch a lot of TV, too. But it usually wasn't anything disturbing or violent, reruns of I dream of Jeannie or Gilligan's Island. I lived in the country, so almost never had any "play dates". I became a little more social in high school, especially when I got a car. Me and my friends would go to the mall, eat nachos and go to the record store and the pet store. I never got a thrill from risk. I hate adrenaline rushes. My mother "overprotective" according to most people at the time, but that was mainly because when she was growing up, the family at the farm next door got their son a dirt bike for his 15th birthday, and he rode it up and down the road, around the pasture, etc... and then wrecked it one day... and he didn't survive.

By the way theres another element about being outside. I dont let my kids outside for a VERY specific reason. The suburban paradigm has made roads so insanely dangerous that the number one thing that is likely to kill my kids is a flippin SUV. With speeding at an all time high, road widths broader than ever, and walkability at an all time low...omg no way am I letting my kids out in that environment. NO. Tablets are banned in our house. They do not have phones. They know how to use them. They do have gaming PCs I built for them but they have strict rules. No free to play games, no predatory heavily monetized games, no online games unless they're cooperative with family only. So almost all the games they play are single player games built around a narrative or objective, or some kind of tactics or strategy game. We also play a lot of games tabletop-wise. Board games, card games, RPGs, wargames, etc.
