"Mental health is declining," says psychologist Jonathan Haidt.

This week, his book, "The Anxious Generation," is number one on The New York Times bestseller list. His book has been a bestseller for more than a year.

Haidt argues that smartphones and social media have "rewired childhood" and made kids more anxious and depressed.

My son agrees. He brings Haidt's argument to schools.

Max Stossel's nonprofit, "Social Awakening," arranges for him to talk to students, parents, and teachers about how social media erodes kids' sense of self, diminishing real relationships.

Many teachers agree. Many schools, as well as some states, have banned the use of smartphones during school hours.
