If you feel like you're losing the daily battle against phones and iPads, psychologist Jonathan Haidt has some good news: the tide is finally starting to turn. In this episode of Making Space, Jonathan sits down with Hoda Kotb to break down how constant screen time is rewiring kids' brains, killing their attention spans, and stealing away real-world play. Drawing from his new book, The Amazing Generation, they dive into what it actually takes to get back to a fearless, tech-free childhood.
