About This Lesson
This Community Reads Guide is designed to help families, educators, librarians, and community groups engage in meaningful conversations about healthy screen relationships using Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation and its companion book for kids, The Amazing Generation.
The guide provides ready-to-use discussion questions for adults, young readers, and mixed-age groups, making it easy to bring different generations into the same conversation about technology, play, independence, and well-being. With practical tips for hosting community reads, prompts that encourage reflection and dialogue, and extension ideas that move discussions into everyday life, the guide supports communities in turning shared reading into shared understanding and action around screen use and childhood development
