Social media is reshaping childhood in profound ways, affecting emotional, social and physical health. In this two-part discussion, child psychologist Anne Uecker will share insights from Jonathan Haidt’s book The Anxious Generation as a foundation for exploring how social media impacts young people and how families and communities respond. This program invites parents, caregivers and educators to reflect, share perspectives and engage in thoughtful conversation about this evolving issue. Reading the book beforehand is encouraged but not required.
