[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is social media more so than phones. My nephew has an iPhone but isn't on Snapchat or Instagram or Facebook or Twitter and isn't preoccupied with getting likes/hits/friends. He's :D not :cry: [/quote] It's not just social media, it's using your phone as an escape from interacting with humans, or learning how to behave appropriately. Bringing it to the table, everywhere, etc. I see it with my 11 year old nephew all the time. He does something he isn't supposed to do (for the millionth time). His parents take away his phone, make it a 48 hour punishment. He cries and pleads and begs, and gets his phone back 46 hours early. Rinse, repeat. It's the device addiction (which adults also have), and poor parenting over the devices. [/quote]
