Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2022 8:47 pm
Childhood 2.0 is required viewing for anyone who wants to better understand the world their children are navigating as they grow up in the digital age. Featuring actual parents and kids as well as industry-leading experts in child safety and development, this documentary dives into the real-life issues facing kids today — including cyberbullying, online predators, suicidal ideation, and more. "Born in the late 1970s, we completed our formative years without much of a presence from technology. As computers became more than word processing tools, we were apprehensive about jumping into social media without understanding the consequences. Our friends call us Luddites and we have missed out on innumerable Facebook invites over the years.
In the past five years, we have spent an extensive amount of time working with kids (5 to 18 years old) and it quickly became apparent how much devices, social media, and gaming have impacted their lives. Kids now grapple with a host of issues we had barely heard of at their age: depression, general addiction, anxiety, body dysmorphia, pornography addiction, grooming, cyberbullying, suicidal ideation, and suicide.
In human evolutionary terms, this has all happened in the blink of an eye. Parents have barely had a chance to catch their breath. We spent the past year uncovering that story across the country and had conversations with parents, ER Doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists, PhDs, cybercrimes detectives, law enforcement, youth mentors, authors, tech companies, teens, and kids. Then we needed to stand up this new digital era to a control: a woman who grew up during the Great Depression. How could childhood have changed so much in such a short time?
Ultimately this film is a reflection of the world we currently live in and a resource to be contemplated. We have made every attempt to craft an honest picture of what childhood is today, kids spending more time online and less engaging in real life, free play, and autonomy. What are the effects on the next generation's mental, physical, and spiritual health? Childhood was more or less unchanged for millennia — this is Childhood 2.0.
