An obvious but difficult truth: parents' screentime habits have a significant impact on their tweens. More parental screentime (presumably even for work) is strongly associated with problematic social media and video game use by their kids. The lead researcher gives some tips for building healthier screen habits: 1. Commit to screen-free meal times and bedtime. The #1 thing you can do to avoid problematic screen use is limit screens at bedtime (for kids and adults). 2. Set tech boundaries and limits. Around 70% of parents do this already. 3. Avoid using screentime as a punishment or reward for behavior. Paradoxically It turns out that doing so is associated with higher problematic screen use.

The struggle to get kids off of their phones and keep their attention on learning and IRL relationships is a "draining, nonstop marathon" according to one math teacher. It's encouraging to see one of the country's largest school districts (LAUSD) and the governor of California taking stronger action to solve the phone distraction, which is such a barrier to learning. Board member Nick Melvoin painted a vivid picture: "Our students are glued to their cellphones, not unlike adults. They’re surreptitiously scrolling in school, in class time, or have their head in their hands, walking down the hallways. They’re not talking to each other or playing at lunch or recess because they have their AirPods in.” https://lnkd.in/grn3xJgA
