Culturally we are facing a children’s mental health “polycrisis” defined by the compounding of multiple simultaneous crises, of which amplify each other in a new methodology upsetting the systemic well-being of our families. In addition to the large concerns such as climate change, political instability, energy insecurity, pandemics, etc, the greatest concern that brings me here today is the rapid increase of child suicide in direct correlation to the release of the smart device, and now artificial intelligence. Our children are officially under siege, lacking privacy to explore their natural environment and learn to develop sound sensations of consciousness without screens/smart devices/etc.
Action:
To have a direct and immediate impact on this polycrisis and your child mental well being keep them off the internet as much as possible. Use it minimally and only for educational and work resources.
