The Connected Crisis: How Digital Childhoods Are Reshaping Mental Health

By Vishal K

The Connected Crisis is a timely and urgent guide to understanding how growing up in a hyperconnected world is reshaping childhood-and fueling a mental health epidemic among kids and teens.
Anxiety. Depression. Loneliness. Attention struggles. Across the U.S. and beyond, these issues are rising sharply in young people-and mounting research points to a powerful culprit: digital overexposure. Smartphones, social media, and screen-saturated routines are rewiring young brains, replacing face-to-face relationships, and disrupting emotional development.
In this eye-opening book, author Vishal K combines neuroscience, psychology, real-world stories, and actionable solutions to reveal how modern technology is affecting children's minds-and what parents, educators, and communities can do about it.
You'll discover: Why screens trigger stress, anxiety, and sleep disruptionHow digital habits impact focus, self-regulation, and self-esteemTools to set healthy boundaries, promote offline connection, and build emotional resilienceA roadmap for restoring balance at home, in schools, and in community spaces The Connected Crisis is not anti-tech. It's pro-child. With clarity and compassion, it offers a new vision for raising mentally healthy, deeply connected kids in a digital world.
