Description

Our children are more connected, and yet sicker, than ever. As digital dependency rises, so do rates of obesity, anxiety, and other chronic diseases. This event will explore the impact of technology on children’s health and ask what parents, policymakers, and communities can do to reverse these trends.

Join New York Times #1 bestselling author of The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, Jonathan Haidt, and a panel of health and technology experts as they examine the problem at hand and how we restore balance so that children thrive in a digital age.
