[quote=Anonymous]This article is dead on. The graphs are sad. No denying that the start of iphones (not cell phones) has had such a negative effect on kids. We continue to deny it or rationalize it, but the reality is right there. It is one thing to have a phone for safety. It is another to have a smart phone with text, social media, and glued to them all day. https://www.yourmodernfamily.com/scary-truth-whats-hurting-kids/ Thoughts? I know I personally wish we could go back and offer teens basic phones. They can still have a computer for homework and yes even email, and some social media. But the smart phone? No. It has been terrible. 16yr old isn’t even that bad. Great kid. Good grades. No bully or social issues. But it creates a tense teenhood that is 24/7. And I miss more teen socialization. My 8yr old in 3rd grade? 7 kids in her class have their own iPhones. It is getting worse [/quote]
