Jon Haidt (@JonHaidt) with his usual compassionate delivery of uncomfortable but honest explanations and criticisms, takes on the delay and destruction of the development of executive function by phone and social media in everyone born after 1996.

Watch him on Triggernometry:

I want to emphasize his correct framing and diagnosis: the impediment of the development of executive function: this is producing the failure of cognitive adulthood because their social and self regulatory ability doesn’t exist.

~”There is no way to make the time children spend on the phone better for them and safety for them. It can’t be done.”~

~”The norm needs to be the organic development of executive function through the end of puberty – where the prefrontal cortex is formed from 11-25.”~

I’ll address what I’ve discovered in my own work in a repost of this one in order to maintain emphasis on Jon’s work.

Cheers
