Interesting. Do you have sources of him recommending those specific solutions? I’m curious to read his rationale.

Yes, I do! Haidt himself discussed this in depth in an interview he did with Nick Gillespie from Reason a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ssJbKE55rY

47:30 is where they start diving into policy proposals

Haidt offers up a low expectation parenting trick, just a one-time easy harmonic 'no socials for kids' from them and if it fails like ever other attempt then we make the state make us sing in key.

The way he feigns much difficulty to understand the baby & the steak argument is very revealing. Responsible kids deserve the chance to have fun and be taught by elders where the line of too risky play is. When he seems so indifferent to the slippery slope of the state picking up all the slack for the parents it can easily be taken for the main aim of his work.
