[quote=Anonymous]Screen diet is best done either by getting their buy in, or some sort of event like camping with no cell service or overnight camp where it is circumstances rather than parental restriction. Once you break the cycle you can help them see how much better they feel. Hopefully? That said, for teens, the solution to this long term is a rich in person life. Lots of activities and lots of friend time. Everyone says “kids don’t hang out in person anymore!!” But that’s totally BS bc both of mine do and so do all the kids in their social circles. A kid who spends that much time glued to social media isn’t going to suddenly replace that time with reading or painting or creative writing while sitting alone in their room…or suddenly spending a ton of time w their parents (which is what some parents seem to think is going to happen if they break the phone addiction), they want connections with peers. That is the replacement that satisfies the same urge to scroll insta [/quote]
