So the pointers are, if your child all of a sudden, now teenagers are moody, right?

They go through that hormonal thing.

But I think everybody, if you're not in denial, you know your child best.

If they're acting a little extra weird or moody, again, if they're in their room for hours on end, they're probably on those devices.

Don't think they're safe in there.

Have your devices in a shared area.

That's what we do.

We also have no devices in the bedrooms at night.

No, they're all put away.

And that includes the parents have to lead by example.

So whether you put all the devices in the parents' bedroom, you put them away.

The child also needs to sleep well, right?

Things happen at night.

Again, this infinite scrolling, it's just dangerous.

So devices, no devices in the bedrooms.

If your child also all of a sudden had a couple of friends, they don't seem to have friends anymore.

They're just acting different.

It's worth that conversation of opening it up and talking about it.

seeking help.

There's nothing wrong with seeking help, appropriate help.
