DNF. I did not make it to the end of this book and gave up reading it a long time ago. Great book for understanding how the child’s mind works and the WHY behind the more frustrating behaviors they exhibit.

I feel like the first part of this book has been laying out evidence that the rise in mental illness in teens is caused by the phone/social media combo and not just correlations. Also it has covered some basic aspects of child development and our cultural shift away from play based childhoods. I feel like I’m learning a lot about myself in the processes of reading this book lol

-quieting the external noise is easy, quieting the internal noise is more difficult. Perhaps the external noise is just a distraction from the internal noise.
-solitude, not isolation.

I have not been enjoying the second half as much as the first half

I read Little women is high school and don’t remember it well. Figured it’d reread it while I wait for my other books to come in from the library.
