The greatest tasting children's medicine in the world (unless they've ruined it since I was a kid):  I would have chugged the bottle if the parents would have allowed. I can’t remember the name of them, but I loved those soft, chewy cherry cough drops when I was a kid. I think I have ingested more orange Triaminic than milk in my life. |

Well, there are other delusions . . . (hope he got a lot of likes).  What's wrong with teaching your children to protect themselves?!?! Wasn't someone on this thread talking about the dangers of liberal parents teaching their children to be afraid of the world? How is teaching children they need to be armed to protect themselves not teaching them to be afraid of the world? |

I guess it could be that they have a gun fetish instead, but that doesn't seem mentally healthy, either. |

Sucrets weren't soft and chewy ... at least as I recall.

Al Gore supports the claim.

Al Gore supports the claim. He really doesn't, but keep on trying to prop up your failed argument based on an invalid study by arguing for keeping young people as ignorant as possible. Seriously, this is Trumpist thinking. Ignore the problem and somehow that makes it not exist. |

I think there's a lot of truth to this hypothesis.
After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on most measures. Why?
In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness that hit many countries at the same time. He then investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing from the real world into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.
Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He diagnoses the “collective action problems” that trap us, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood.
Haidt has spent his career speaking truth backed by data in the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the public health emergency faced by Gen Z. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children—and ourselves—from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.
