GMS Parents, and Guardians,
I’ve rarely been so shocked into action, as a parent and educator, as I was after watching this podcast from the author of “The Anxious Generation,” Jonathan Haidt. If you really want to know know what to do about cell phones, social media, and your child’s development into a healthy and thriving young adult, watch this podcast. The facts shared will shock you, challenge your mindset on your middle schooler’s use of, and limits on, social media and smartphones, and help you learn ways to build in more time for free play and independence. I hope the video makes a positive impact on you and your family. Learn more about free play and independence for kids at home at LetGrow.org.
May you have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and wonderful Holidays!
