@jonathanhaidt.bsky.social supports the idea of walking part of the way to school. In The Anxious Generation, he makes four recommendations to make children more resilient. Three of them are about phones, but the fourth is to give children independence, free play, responsibility in the real world!
Yes definitely! We’re really grateful for the smartphone free movement. But when kids are smartphone free - where will they go? What will they do? What will Parents do to entertain their kids without safe spaces for them to travel or play independently? The movements are definitely deeply linked!
