This societal shift is characterized by increased overprotection of children in the real world and a rapid transition to a "phone-based childhood." The author argues that smartphones and social media have led to four core harms: social deprivation, sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction, impacting girls and boys differently.
