It is sad, indeed. As a father of a 15yo girl and a 5yo boy, I feel this problem every day.

With little kids, it's relatively simple to deal with, but especially with teens, it's a dilemma!

While the "screens" harm them, we can't get them off entirely because 90% (or more) of their social lives are on the internet. Get the internet out of them and they will have no friends to talk to.
