You’re right, Lynn. Degradation of some real-life relationships is cause for worry. We can work to address that scenario in future content. Thank you for your thoughts. We hear you.

Thank you, Kirstie! We do feel it’s critical that each side works to understand the concerns of the other.

Thanks for reading, and great question, Kelly! In addition to the resources noted at the end of the article, I’d point you to a book called “Screen-Smart Parenting” by Jodi Gold, MD. In it, she guides you through the process of creating a technology plan that works for your family. One of her recommended steps is to be sure that, as a parent, you understand the digital landscape: what’s happening online and why. GoZen hopes that this article is a solid step in that direction, for both parents and teens. We will continue to research this topic and offer more content to help everyone navigate this issue.

I loved this article! Thank you!!

The obsession with the screen and chatting with peers completely shuts out other relationships. Something very important and positive is lost, unless they are avoiding criticism, judgment and/or family drama.
