Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 152: Education Thought Leader Jordan Shapiro on Screens, Kids, and His Book "The New Childhood" · 5 Apr 2019 podcast

And there certainly is some of that, but mostly the book comes out of a really deep concern that we're not handling screens very well.

And that we need to think about it as grownups, how we're going to teach our kids to live well with this new connected technology.

This is certainly not a book where I'm like,

let your kids play video games all day long, all the time, and don't worry about it.

But even though people tend to tend to paint it that way.

Yeah, I mean, that's certainly the I think you put that really nicely.

That's sort of the core of the message of almost everything I do.

But I'd add one more point, which is, in some ways, I'm also very much a sort of classicist, traditionalist in it.

And that I don't think that while we are going through a transition, that's a change from what we've had for the last 100 years, 150 years, who knows, you know, where you're going to put the exact marker.

But

we're not going through anything that's really new for humans.

Humans have gone through huge transitions many, many, many times.

And there's a lot we can learn from history and from the past and from a lot of the old stuff.

So I think part of what makes my position really different than a lot of other people is that it's so grounded in old wisdom, wisdom even older than 20th century.

I sort of see the 20th century and the industrial era as a fleeting moment in a much larger human narrative.

And so we need to move forward, yes, but while also clinging to those things that are really essential and traditional, not the things that felt good for 150 years.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I make, I mean, that's a large part of the argument in the book is,

That at least during the industrial era, it was really normal to separate the hearth and the agora, right?

So just think of hearth as home.
