I liked the report about young people and digital wellbeing. From the numbers there seems to be a lot of kids who think their parents may be addicted to their phones which is worrying. Good to see a report that looks at things from young people's perspective. Worth a look. www.cybersmile.org/wp-content/uploads/Digital-Wellbeing-2020-The-Cybersmile-Foundation.pdf

Yes, I saw that too. I've often seen parents glued to their phones ignoring kids or just not giving them full attention. By definition, this kind of behaviour is addictive as far as I am concerned. Seems to me a lot of parents are missing out on the whole parental experience, but what concerns me most is what the kids are missing out from.

Yes, addiction can be very harmful and just the amount of time you spend looking at a screen can be a problem, never mind what kind of content you are looking at.
