IN LETTER #45 I POINTED OUT that I very much agree with Jonathan Haidt’s contention, in The Anxious Generation, that children and teens are suffering because they have been deprived of free play and other independent activity but disagree that social media or other uses of digital devices are a major cause of the recent increase in anxiety, depression, and suicide. And I reviewed the reasons for my disagreement. ...The letter drew many thoughtful comments, all of which I appreciate. What I want to do now is respond briefly to what I found to be the most interesting and, in some cases, provocative comments. CLICK HERE: petergray.substack.com/…
