Much has been made in recent years about the effects that smartphones<\/a> have had on young people, and that has led at least 19 states<\/a> in the U.S to impose some sort of limitation on children having cell phones in schools<\/a>, whether it\u2019s a total ban or having the kids put their phones into pockets outside the classroom.<\/p>\n

Social scientist Jonathan Haidt, a leader in the phone-free schools movement <\/a>and author of The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness<\/em>, recently shared a video on Instagram<\/a> where a teacher he identified as Emma shared how smartphones have made her students apathetic.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, the kids have no ability to be bored whatsoever. They live on their phones, and they are just fed a constant stream of dopamine from the minute their eyes wake up in the morning until they go to sleep at night,\u201d the teacher says. \u201cBecause they’re in a constant state of dopamine withdrawal at school, they behave like addicts. They’re super emotional; the smallest things set them off. And when you’re standing in front of them trying to teach, they’re vacant. They have no ability to tune in if your communication isn’t packaged in short little clips or if it doesn’t have bright, flashing lights.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>A post shared by Jonathan Haidt (@jonathanhaidt)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The hardest part, Emma says, is that \u201cThey have their eyes looking at me, but they’re not there…They have a level of apathy that I’ve never seen before in my whole career…It’s like you are interacting with them briefly in between hits of the Internet, which is their real life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haidt praised the video for doing what he says is a great job of sharing the damage that smartphones have done to children’s developmental progress\u2014and that the problem extends far beyond the dangers of social media, affecting their basic brain function. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why I\u2019m not only talking about #socialmedia\u2014in the book I describe an entirely different kind of childhood that #smartphones have ushered in,\u201d Haidt wrote in the comments. \u201cI call it the #phonebasedchildhood, because it\u2019s not just that touch-screen devices have added entertainment and ‘connection’\u2014they have replaced developmentally necessary aspects of childhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haidt offers recommendations for parents and schools to help prevent children from developing trouble focusing or being away from their smartphones. He says parents shouldn\u2019t allow<\/u><\/a> their kids to have a smartphone before high school, as well as no social media until they are 16 years old. <\/p>\n

When it comes to schools<\/u><\/a>, Haidt believes that allowing students to bring their phones to class, provided they don\u2019t use them, won\u2019t help the problem. Instead, he thinks kids should place their phones in Yondr pouches, which are locked until the end of the day, or in phone lockers where they can retrieve them after school. <\/p>\n

With pushback from teachers and social scientists such as Haidt, there is renewed hope that young people can find a better balance between real life and technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
