Hi all,
We’re delighted to announce a live Mumsnet Zoomchat next Tuesday, 2nd September at 3pm with Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist and author of The Anxious Generation.
Jonathan’s groundbreaking work explores how the rise of smartphone and social media use has fuelled a sharp increase in mental health issues amongst children, and how this “great rewiring” is affecting everything from sleep to friendships to resilience. He’s been a leading advocate for collective action to roll back the phone-based childhood.
We began our Rage Against the Screen campaign because of the countless conversations on this topic on site, and we know it’s a huge concern for many of you. So we’re really excited to hear more from Jonathan about his work and to have the chance to put your questions to him.
If you’ve got a question you’d like to ask then please post it below. As ever, one question per user and do keep them short and sharp so we can get through as many as possible. You’ll be able to watch the chat live by registering at this link but we’ll also be recording so you can catch up if you can’t make it.
Thanks,
MNHQ
