Description

Two mental health experts warn that kids are getting dangerously hooked on screens, with teens often starting to spiral around middle school. Their brains are rewiring to crave digital stimulation, leading to anxiety, depression, and even lost college opportunities. One expert launched an AI club to teach mindful tech use, while another highlights how peer pressure and underdeveloped brains make teens especially vulnerable. The hopeful takeaway? With firm boundaries and fun offline activities, teens can reset their habits in just two weeks — and parents can help by co-creating those experiences.
