We’re so excited for the second live webinar in our Parent Series, taking place this coming Tuesday, Oct. 28. Renowned author and researcher Jonathan Haidt will be discussing “How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Impacted Everything, And What We Can Do About It.”
Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist whose most recent book, The Anxious Generation, brings to light how play-based childhood has been replaced by phone-based childhood. Haidt continues to push reforms to put an end to the youth mental health crisis. He believes that there are four steps that we all must take now: delay smartphones until high school, delay social media until 16, phone-free schools, and more independence and play in the real world. Haidt will share his research and leave parents with inspiration and concrete plans to facilitate change in their families and communities.
All parents, teachers, and caregivers in the Fairfield community are welcome. Directly after the webinar, Brett Potash, Head of School, will be available for a Q&A to dive deeper into the topic. You can find more information on all six speakers and future dates in the webinar series in this Brochure. Please join us!
