[quote=Anonymous]Our 17 year old is spending hours every day on social media and I’m at a loss as to what to do. Her grades are not horrible but definitely could be better, she has some extra curriculars but none that are incredibly time consuming. She is looking for a job but has not found one to date. She can easily spend 5+ hours a day on social which feels excessive and unhealthy to me. We can take her phone (and have done)…makes her so angry and then she when she gets it back she seems to spend even more time on it and at the end of the day she is 17 not 12 and will be going to college in a year. I find the non stop scrolling so negative on my own mental health so it’s concerning to me. Any tips. Is this amount of time normal? Or are other parents not monitoring phone use?[/quote]
