Lots of US schools catching up to other parts of the world by banning phones. Thanks Jonathan Haidt for lifting up what child development experts been saying for years. Tech is fine but too often in classrooms not integrated and makes social skill development worse.

Has anyone had to deal with mental health challenges with their kids? Such a big issue for so many families. A bigger discussion than when I was a kid. Perhaps the world is harder or maybe simply the stigma of seeking mental health support is diminishing What do you guys think?
