CNN says RFK is right How cell phones are killing our kids, and what we can do about it By Matt Villano, CNN 8 minute read Updated 1:00 PM EDT, Tue April 16, 2024 CNN — Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt probably has become a pretty unpopular guy among teenagers over the last few weeks. His new book, “ The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness,” essentially calls for a revolution in how parents administer smartphones and social media to their teens. Put simply, Haidt writes that kids should have little to no access to either until they turn 16. "The Anxious Generation" argues kids should have little or no access to smartphones or social media till they're 16. Dave Cicirelli, Courtesy of Penguin Press While some have questioned the science behind Haidt’s thesis, Haidt argues the perspective is informed by years of research — investigations that depict climbing mental health struggles among American tweens and teens, and statistics that indicate many teenagers in the United States already are depressed or anxious in some way. The American Psychological Association echoed his concern in a new report that calls out social media platforms for designs that are “inherently unsafe for children.” The APA’s report, released Tuesday, says that children do not have “the experience, judgment and self-control” to manage themselves on those platforms. The association says burden shouldn’t be entirely on parents, app stores or young people — it has to be on the platform developers.
