Are we failing to protect kids in the digital age?

In this TEDMED Conversation, psychologist and bestselling author Jonathan Haidt dives into the alarming rise in youth anxiety, depression, and attention fragmentation—and how smartphones, social media, and a culture of overprotection are making things worse. Based on insights from his latest book The Anxious Generation, Haidt offers a bold call to action for parents, educators, doctors, and policymakers.
