The Anxious Generation
Written by Jonathan Haidt
Haidt’s book has caused a stir. He believes smartphones and helicopter parenting have caused Gen Z to suffer the worst mental health in history. Levels of anxiety, depression, suicide, and ADHD have skyrocketed since the advent of smartphones. If you want to learn how to help your children navigate a world full of smartphones and social media, The Anxious Generation is a must read.

Bad Therapy
Written by Abigail Shrier
Bad Therapy asks a very simple question: Why is the generation that has received the most therapy suffering from the most mental health in history? Like Haidt, she concludes part of the problem is parents and smartphones; however, she points to ill-equipped counselors as the true culprits. In her analysis, therapy has gone awry and is causing much more damage than good – and these therapist have more access to children than most parents think.

Written by Dr. Meg Meeker

Both books give us permission to parent our children, which often runs against the grain in our society. If you want to be a better parent, read Dr. Meeker’s books with a highlighter and pen in hand.
