What is Screen Addiction?
It can be challenging for parents and carers to know whether children are spending too much time on their devices. Furthermore, it’s even more of a challenge to know whether a child is addicted to the internet and social media. As technology is becoming more pervasive, children and young people are experiencing tech – related dependencies.

In this guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as health & wellbeing, app addiction and a lack of sleep.
