That means that the only time parents see them is at night before they go to sleep and at dinner And that is like in total 1 or two hours that's not a lot. Parents must feel sad not seeing them.
Many people feel that Screen time Can cause Anxiety, Low self esteem and depression. Also people think that screen time can be entertainment and be fun. However that Screen time can affect teens by getting more body fat, not being active and can cause laziness. Screen time can also cause depression because on social media they can be felt left out and feel sad. Many people also feel that Screen time Causes loneliness And no direct communication to family. On the other hand It can Cause friendships and make it possible to talk to your friends online.
