Topics
Jonathan Haidt: 焦虑一代指的是1995年后出生的人,他们是第一代在青春期就接触智能手机和社交媒体的一代人。智能手机和社交媒体的普及导致了焦虑、抑郁和自残行为在年轻人中加剧,尤其是在女孩中。科技让成年人的生活更轻松,但这不利于孩子学习应对生活中的挫折,过度依赖科技导致人际交往减少,科技让孩子们不必面对无聊和尴尬,阻碍了他们的发展。为了扭转局面,我们需要建立四项新的社会规范:高中前不使用智能手机;16岁后才能使用社交媒体;学校禁止使用手机;增加孩子在现实世界中的独立性、自由活动和责任感。真正危害孩子的是智能手机及其带来的互联网内容,而非手机本身。过度沉迷电子游戏会影响孩子的大脑发育,并可能导致成瘾。长时间观看短视频会损害孩子的注意力,而观看电影则相对较好。智能手机的普及不仅影响了青少年的心理健康,还影响了他们的学习能力和注意力。学校应该优先考虑取消手机的使用,然后再考虑减少其他科技产品的配备。学校配备的科技产品对低收入家庭的学生危害更大。Meta、TikTok 和 Snap 等公司对儿童的成长造成了严重损害。大型科技公司的高层管理人员并不重视儿童的心理健康问题。我们能够解决青少年过度依赖科技产品的问题,并且已经有了一些积极的进展。 Dr. Becky Kennedy: 焦虑源于对不适和挫折的恐惧,而科技让我们习惯于避免这些感受。父母缺乏坚定的领导力是导致孩子焦虑的重要原因。父母应从保护而非惩罚的角度设定界限,并与其他家长合作。父母需要提升设定界限的能力,才能有效地限制孩子使用科技产品。培养孩子的胜任感是克服焦虑的有效方法,而这需要孩子经历挑战和挫折。父母的过度控制会让孩子缺乏自信,加剧焦虑。让孩子承担更多责任,可以有效缓解焦虑。不适感意味着我们在尝试新的事物,而非做错了事。父母应向孩子传达他们对其能力的信任,即使孩子在尝试新事物时会感到不适。如果孩子过度依赖手机,家长就无法有效地进行管教。家长需要通过合理安排孩子的时间,来限制其使用手机的时间。家长在给孩子手机时,需要设定明确的规则和界限,并保持与孩子的沟通。父母与孩子的联系是解决问题的关键。 Stephanie Ruhle: 技术让生活更便捷,但这不利于孩子学习应对挫折、孤独和焦虑。探究焦虑家庭的特征。我们需要重新审视当今的育儿方式,它往往是科技驱动的直升机式育儿。探讨如何引导孩子合理使用手机。探讨如何平衡对孩子网络行为的管控与孩子的自由发展。

Chapters
Dr. Becky and Jonathan Haidt discuss the impact of smartphones and social media on Gen Z's mental health. They highlight the shift from play-based to phone-based childhood and the resulting increase in anxiety, depression, and self-harm. The constant connectivity and avoidance of boredom hinder the development of coping mechanisms for setbacks and loneliness.
  • Gen Z, born after 1995, is the first generation to experience puberty with smartphones and social media.
  • The constant availability of technology prevents boredom and hinders development of coping mechanisms.
  • Direct human interaction becomes uncomfortable for Gen Z, who prefer texting over phone calls.
