[quote=Anonymous]Op, I agree. I would add that we never really processed covid and the implications it had on our mental health. It has killed more than 1.2 million Americans and more than 7 million globally. The world shut down. School shut down. Graduations, weddings, and funerals did not take place as they should. Kids didn’t get to say goodbye to classmates and teachers who they might never see again. As a teacher, I can confirm the learning loss is still being felt, but in a different way each year, as it depends on what developmental level the kid was when covid hit.

Electronics has changed absolutely everything about childhood. Kids at all ages are not sheltered from anything, and they get no break from any bullying or drama taking place at school or anywhere else in real life.

As a society, we have basically ignored all of this. We never helped kids process the fear, confusion, and loss they experienced during covid. We aren’t giving them enough monitoring and guidance on electronics.

Our youth is experiencing a mental health crisis. I fear how this will manifest as they get older. [/quote]
