Session 3: Where do we go from here?
Jonathan Haidt offers recommendations for parents and schools, but one size does not fit all. What can parents and schools do to limit the harm from cultural and technological forces that are damaging to kid’s mental health? What should fall to families, and what decisions should be schools and legislatures? Where is the line between protecting kids and intruding on the space they need to develop relationships and to grow?
