Join award-winning author, social psychologist, and Positive Psychology visionary Jonathan Haidt who will share ground-breaking research on the global epidemic of childhood and teen mental illness. Discover the science on why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, socially adept, thriving adults. Learn how cellphones destroyed play-based childhood in the early 2010s. The psychological damage of phone-based lives has led to the re-wiring of childhood – damaging social and neurological development leading to sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social comparison, and perfectionism. Professor Haidt shares Four Simple Rules and a clear call to action for parents, families, educators, companies, and governments. Join us for this behind-the-scenes conversation with Jonathan Haidt, hosted by Lisa Honig Buksbaum, President, IPPA Positive Health & Wellbeing Division.
