Simple Ways to Manage Your Teens' Media Usage
Manage episode 407349965 series 3559599
The average teen spends 9 hours a day looking at a screen. Boys are gaming and girls are scrolling social media. Yet, none of us love looking at screens all day!
There's good news...
You are the boss of your phone, social media, screen time, and brain.
Since most of us adults and therefore teens, use phones as a way to numb, medicate, or ignore the uncomfortable things going on around us. We have to make sure we are setting up healthy rules and guidelines with applicable consequences. Starting with these safety nets in place is ideal, but if you haven't done so yet, no worries! You can still make changes.
