About this listen

 In this episode of Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bullitt dive into The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt—a powerful and eye-opening look at how the rise of smartphones, social media, and a decline in real-world play are fueling an epidemic of anxiety and depression in kids.

As a family therapist and a divorce lawyer with decades of experience—and as parents and grandparents—Julie and David bring personal stories, professional insight, and practical takeaways to help families navigate modern parenting.

They explore:

  • The importance of free play for healthy brain development

  • How overprotection in the real world and underprotection online is hurting kids

  • Concrete steps to reduce anxiety and build resilience

  • Why schools and parents should rethink kids and smartphones

If you're raising children, working with kids, or simply wondering what’s changed in the past decade, this is a must-listen.
