During our panel about #technologyamdmedia we ment

During our panel about #technologyamdmedia we mentioned social psychologist and author, @jonathanhaidt, and his new book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. In an interview in Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper on April 6, 2024, he summarizes his book in the following way:

So the basic thesis of the book is that we have over protected our children in the real world where they need a lot of play and independence and exposure learning. And we’ve been under protecting them online, which is this bizarre new world full of weird people and people who want to meet children. So we’ve got to fix both of those mistakes. What I propose is four norms that we can all adopt, they’re hard to adopt if you’re acting on your own, but they’re actually easy if we do it together.

Norm number one: No smartphone before high school. Just give your kid a flip phone. Do not give them their own smartphone to have with them all the time until they’re in high school.

Number two: No social media until 16. This is a little harder, but if most of us do it, then our kids can’t say, “But dad, I’m the only one who doesn’t have Instagram.” They can’t say that because we’ll know it’s not true. Most kids won’t have Instagram until they’re 16.

The third norm is phone free schools. This is probably the most powerful one that we can do this year. We can get this done this year. Anybody watching this: If your kids go to a school where they say, “Oh, you know, we lock up phones during class.” That’s nothing. The kids are using the phone during class. They have to lock up the phone in a phone locker in the morning.

And the fourth norm is far more independence, free-play and responsibility in the real world. Because if we’re going to reduce their screen time by 80%, we have to give them back a normal childhood where they’re playing with other kids or teenagers hanging out with other teens. They need people.

So those are the four norms, we can do them if we act together. #steinercommunity #jonathanhaidt #waldorfeducation #phoneofftheclassroom #childdevelopment #steinerblog #steinermediapanel

When children learn surrounded by nature, they encounter an evolving environment, experiencing seasonal changes and free movement that stimulates a healthy development.

Our Forest Kindergarten offers a full outdoors program. Our Nursery and Kindergarten students develop a deep love for, and understanding of, nature from an early age as students explore Central Park in free play and guided activities, rain or shine and in all seasons. #steinerforestkindergarten #forestkindergarten #steinerschoolny #newyorkparents #natureschool #steinerearlychildhood #timeinnature #steinerkindergarten #youngchildren #preservingchildhood

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” #rainermariarilke

#steinerstudents develop a deep love for, and understanding of, nature from an early age. They go outside everyday, rain or shine. Children become acquainted with and aware of their environment as well as their relation to it in an experiential manner. #springtime #outdoorseducation #steinernursery #waldorfeducation #steinerearlychildhood #steinercurriculum #preservingchildhood
