We will read and discuss Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation, a book examining how smartphone-based childhoods are contributing to rising rates of anxiety and disconnection in kids and teens. Each session we'll dig into a section of the book together, sharing observations from our own homes and swapping practical strategies for screen time, phone-free milestones, and building stronger connections with our kids. No expertise needed — just parents wanting to think more intentionally about raising healthy, resilient children in a digital world. Small group meets Wednesdays at 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM starting September 2nd in the Library Room 108, led by Jared and Karen Barnes.
