On January 23, 2025 Dover Sherborn “Challenge Success”, Dover Town Library, Dover Church, Pilgrim Church and Sherborn Library hosted an engaging panel discussion about the 2024 book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt. The author argues that the spread of smartphones, social media and overprotective parenting have led to a "rewiring" of childhood and a rise in mental illness.
The panel was led by Pastor John Hudson, with: Dr. Mary Ellen J. Crowley, associate psychologist at McLean Hospital and an instructor in psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.; Stacy Creamer, LMHC, LLC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a private practice in Natick; Kate Potter, Sherborn resident and parent. Sponsored by the Friends of the Sherborn Library and Pilgrim Church.
