The happiness of young people has taken a big hit since the advent of the smartphone - and social psychologist <a href="https://jonathanhaidt.com/">Jonathan Haidt</a> argues that there is a direct link. He warns that allowing children easy access to the internet and social media adversely impacts their sleep, their self-esteem and even how their brains develop.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jonathan explains the dangers he sees in letting kids use smartphones, while Jill Murphy of <a href="https://www.commonsensemedia.org/">Common Sense Media</a> suggests ways parents can navigate introducing tech into children's lives.&nbsp; This series on parenting coincides with Dr Laurie's&nbsp;new free online class, The&nbsp;Science of Wellbeing for Parents which is available now at <a href="https://www.coursera.org/">Coursera.org</a>.
