I'm actually concerned about [u]the entire generation[/u], and not just my own kids.

And so I am strict about phone use and support that schools are strict about it too (especially in grades 9-12).

Other countries have strict phone policies. Let's not have our American kids become zombies on the phone.  See today's Wall Street Journal opinion piece

See Jonathan Haidt’s new book, “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness.”  The author is a social psychologist who teaches at New York University’s Stern School of Business, has spent his career studying emotion, culture and morality, turning along the way to child development and adolescent mental health.
