Generation Alpha (born from 2010 onwards) is the first generation raised in a fully digital world, where smartphones, social media and AI have existed from the very start of their lives. Across living rooms, classrooms and communal gathering place, screens are shaping how young children and teenagers think, feel and relate to the world.

Anxiety is rising. Attention spans are shrinking. Real world social skills are quietly diminishing. Dopamine-driven design keeps young minds scrolling long after they meant to stop.

In The Scrolling Generation, Dr Arthur Chin—founder of Digital Mindfulness and developer of the Balanced Digital Living Approach—draws on behavioural science, adolescent development research, and real-world conversations with parents and educators to unpack what is really happening beneath the glow of the screen.

This book goes beyond panic and blame. Instead, it offers a practical, compassionate framework to help families, schools and communities restore focus, strengthen resilience, and rebuild meaningful connection in a hyperconnected world.

Discover:

• How constant scrolling reshapes attention, focus, and emotional regulation.

• The ways social media influences identity and self-worth.

• How digital stress differs across age groups and between boys and girls.

• 30 practical exercises to build calm, resilience and self-control

This is not a call to reject technology—but to use it with intention and mindfulness.
