Mr. Haidt connects it perfectly. Once you give your child a phone…there’s no going back. It’s like handing your toddler candy and then expecting them to trade it back for broccoli. Impossible.

Your phone is stealing hours of sleep every night. Research from PMC (2023): 90% of studies “found an association between screen media use and delayed bedtime and/or decreased total sleep time.” A nationally representative study done in 2016 with over 2,600 youths, in the US…

Every year, over 500,000 students apply to top universities. Only 5% get in. There's one simple explanation: The avg teen’s attention span is 28 minutes. That’s wild. Why? They go wide, not deep. Watching tons of “Stats and ECs" videos on youtube made one thing clearer.…

Everytime a parent hands their crying toddler an ipad, their brain learns: Discomfort? → Reach for a device Those lessons are implemented into their brain, and fighting becomes harder and harder as you get older. Train the brain at 5, or fight it at 15. The choice is yours.
