About the event

Parenting Boys in the Digital Era: Building Strength and Resilience (Anxious Generation Book Club)
Join the Anxious Generation Book Discussion Series – Part 1

What’s happening to our kids — and what can we do about it? If you are looking for support as a parent raising a child in a smartphone world, please join us!

Over the past decade, childhood has shifted from play-based to phone-based, and author Jonathan Haidt argues this change is fueling an epidemic of anxiety, depression, and fragility in young people. In The Anxious Generation, Haidt examines how overprotection in the real world and underprotection online have left kids struggling — and offers steps we can take to reverse the trend.

Join fellow MMA parents for Part 1 of a three-part discussion series, led by MMA parent Jacob Shellabarger. This first session will introduce the book’s core ideas, major themes, and key takeaways.

You don’t need to have finished (or even started!) the book to participate — just bring your curiosity, experiences, and ideas.
