stats on how many hours a day are you on, and then they break it down by class and gender and everything.

And the big differences are that girls more than boys are on social media.

Girls is more than five hours a day, just social media.

Boys a little less than five hours.

Class, where kids in wealthier families have much less total screen time.

Kids in poor families, much more screen time.

Race, so black and Hispanic kids have more screen time.

And I believe that's true even if you account for if you partial out class.

Those are two of the biggest ones.

LGBTQ kids are on more than others.

And so all of those groups are more vulnerable.

And when I said a class divide, what I mean is especially a class divide in responsiveness.

And so when The Anxious Generation came out in 2024, it made the rounds in all the fancy private schools, the mothers who are really intense and focused on reading the research and like do what's good for the kids.

And there's a lot of research showing that working class, lower class people, they have what was once called natural parent, natural growth parenting.

The idea that, you know, your kid is not your pet project to soup up in me.

You know, like kids, you know, kids will do what they do.

And so we're seeing a huge amount of uptake.

So the four norms, the four norms that I propose in Anxious Generation, no smartphone before high school, no social media before 16, phone-free schools, and far more independence, free play responsibility in the real world.

Those four norms, sort of upper-class neighborhoods, wealthy suburbs, huge uptake.

Those parents are getting together, they're creating neighborhoods, their kids are riding bicycles with each other.
