Screen-addiction, sometimes known as "tech-Addiction" or IAD (Internet Addiction Disorder) is one of the most pervasive issues facing parents in today's world. GYE often gets questions from parents who are at their wits end regarding their children's internet usage and their inability to control it.
Although this is not really an area that GYE deals with, we'd like to offer some helpful resources that can give parents (and the kid's themselves) the proper guidance and perspective on how to deal with the challenge - see the chart below.
Although this is not really an area that GuardYourEyes addresses, we do have some helpful resources that can give parents (and teens) the proper guidance and perspective on how to deal with the challenge - see the chart below. (Note: Often this problem is just a result of "Vitamin N Deficiency" ("N" stands for "No". See this video for more on this).
