Please join us for a PK-12 community book talk series on The Anxious Generation by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. The book examines how the rise of smartphones, social media, and changing childhood experiences have contributed to a surge in anxiety, depression, and disconnection among young people. Haidt’s research offers both a powerful wake-up call and a hopeful framework for how families, schools, and communities can help children rediscover independence, play, and real-world connection.
This series is part of our ongoing effort to foster meaningful dialogue around technology, well-being, and student growth in Port Washington. Each session will focus on a different theme from the book, inviting reflection and conversation among parents, educators, and students.

The Port Washington Public Library has ordered extra copies of the book for families to borrow, and it is also widely available through major booksellers and online platforms.
These sessions will explore the key ideas from The Anxious Generation and what they mean for our families, schools, and community as we work together to support balanced, connected, and healthy lives for our students.
