Technology and Screen Time: a Modern Family Challenge

Transforming Families with Randy and Lesli

Are screens taking over our family lives? Today, we're diving into one of the biggest challenges families face—managing technology and screen time.

  • The average screen time per person in the U.S.  hit 7 hours and 3 minutes per day.
  • Teenagers 13-18 average more than 8 hours a day.
  • Adolescents who spent more than 3 hours a day on social media faced double the risk of mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression).
  • Other problems created by too much screen time include: a negative impact on sleep, social comparison and symptoms of withdrawal.

In today's podcast you will learn from the detailed research on how to much screen time is impacting our children , the challenges to parents in addressing them, and some solutions for you to implement with your family.
