Recent studies show that teenagers experience more anxiety and mental health issues than those in earlier generations. In his book *The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness*, Professor Jonathan Haidt explains that two major changes in childhood are mainly responsible for their problems. First, these young people lost real-world freedom during childhood. Their parents tended to protect them too much and carefully control their daily activities. They were not encouraged to explore outdoors, take risks, and solve problems independently. As a result, they might have missed many opportunities to develop confidence and independence. According to Professor Haidt, plenty of free, unsupervised outdoor play is important for healthy development. Without outdoor play, children may be less willing to try new things as they grow into teenagers. Another major change is the shift from a play-based childhood to a phone-based one. Since childhood, these young people have often spent many hours using smartphones and social media for leisure activities. This leads to several problems. For example, they do not get enough sleep because of long hours on screens. Instead of interacting face to face, they often communicate online, making them feel less connected to people in the real world. Also, constant phone messages and addictive apps make it hard for them to stay focused. When they cannot check their phones, they feel anxious.
