Fresh Take: Catherine Price, THE AMAZING GENERATION
Health and science journalist Catherine Price discusses her book THE AMAZING GENERATION, a bold guide empowering kids to resist Big Tech, and to choose real friendship and fun over screens.
How do we get kids to *want* to put their phones down? This week we're talking to bestselling author Catherine Price about her latest book, The Amazing Generation: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World, co-written with social psychologist Jonathan Haidt.
Instead of focusing on parental controls and screen-time battles, The Amazing Generation speaks directly to kids, inviting them to question the promises of Big Tech and reclaim real friendship, real freedom, and real fun.
We discuss:
- Why empowering kids works better than scaring them
- How smartphones and social media shape adolescent brain development
- The growing youth rebellion against addictive tech
- How to shift from conflict to collaboration when it comes to screens
