Now, on to the straight addiction question, because there's certainly parents who see children...
who can't put down their phones, who can't stop playing video games, who have unbelievably violent reactions if they can't play a video game, who have things that sort of look like typical withdrawal symptoms.
To that, I would say I've heard so many of these stories.
I think I am very concerned about them.
It is absolutely possible to develop a very unhealthy relationship with a digital device.
We've seen that.
Two ways I deal with that once that happens is...
My whole message is that we need to start much younger in making sure we teach kids how to develop healthy relationships with their devices so that we don't get to the place that we see so many teenagers in right now and young people in.
That's part of why I say, hey, get involved younger, model these things younger, because right now we're sort of painting it as a temptation.
We're painting it as the evil temptation.
And of course, if they behave with it the way they would behave with an evil temptation,
temptation when you paint it that way.
So that attitude needs to change.
As to the kids who do develop these really unhealthy relationships, one of the things that scares me about that is that it's possible to develop unhealthy relationships with anything, right?
You can develop an unhealthy relationship with food, sex, money, work.
I know lots of adults who have all of those kinds of unhealthy relationships.
And if there's one thing we know in psychology, it's that those unhealthy relationships are often the result of other issues, whether it's trauma or a confidence issue or a self-worth question.
There's so much that underlies those kinds of unhealthy relationships.
And what I would like to see when they happen is that
I would hope that parents give their kids all the love and support and professional help they need in order to get to the root of what that problem is.
