This is a pivotal episode of the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. Renowned social psychologist Jonathan Haidt joins us to dissect the seismic shifts in childhood experiences over recent decades. Delving into the heart of the matter, Jonathan and Ginny explore the transformation of childhood from 2010 to 2015, pinpointing the advent of Gen Z, the first cohort to navigate adolescence with the omnipresence of smartphones.

However, the dawn of intensive parenting and the allure of digital devices reshaped the landscape, depriving children of vital developmental experiences.
