Summary
Details

Are kids today more anxious, distracted, and disconnected than ever before?

How Today's Digital Rewiring of Childhood Fuels a Mental Health Crisis: The Anxious Generation for Kids & Teens uncovers why so many young people are struggling-and what can be done about it.

Drawing on Jonathan Haidt's groundbreaking insights, this guide breaks down how smartphones, social media, and overprotection have reshaped childhood in ways that fuel stress, anxiety, and isolation. Written in clear, relatable language for kids and teens, it shows how today's ""always online"" world has rewired the way young people grow, play, and connect.

Inside, readers will discover:

Why more screen time often leads to less happiness and confidence. How the ""Great Rewiring"" of childhood changed the way kids develop. The hidden costs of losing free play, outdoor time, and real-world friendships. Practical ways schools, parents, and communities can help restore balance. Tools for kids and teens to build resilience, focus, and healthier relationships.

This book isn't just about the problems-it's about solutions. It empowers young readers to understand what's happening to their generation and offers practical steps to take back control of their time, their friendships, and their mental health.

If you-or a young person you care about-have ever felt trapped by screens, anxious about fitting in, or overwhelmed by the digital world, this book will help shine a light on the way forward.
