Summary
The 80-year-old actress said on Jimmy Kimmel Live that tablets and less unsupervised play leave children weaker at problem-solving and resilience.
She said her new book, The After-School Kindness Crew, teaches mindfulness, kindness and “brain breaks”, while MindUP helps kindergarten-to-eighth-grade students understand their brains and regulate emotions.
Hawn said she launched MindUP in 2003 after learning child suicide was a leading cause of death among 10- to 15-year-olds, and warned children’s mental health has since worsened.
