Are Mom And Dad Screen Addictions

The following proposal addresses the research question: What is the relationship between screen time and learning development in school aged children and youth? Studying various social

My mom and dad are not attracted to their phones. For example they are only on their phone if they got a phone call, calling someone or texting. Some reasons that support my answer is that they give eye contact at the dinner table or talk to us about our day. Also when they're at a game watching T.V. or outside there not on there phone.

Imagine a teenage boy in his last year of high school being stressed out at school from too much homework and an important test coming in a few weeks. He’s been studying for months and can’t stop from being stressed from the test that will determine his future. He comes home and pulls out his tablet. This screen time allows him to calm himself from the stress at school. Who would deny the teen some time to calm down? I believe that teenagers should not have to limit their screen time because it allows for relaxation, amusement, and socialization.

Time spent with their children talking and sharing is replaced by time spent in front of the television.

​Technological advancement is one factor that affects parent-child relationship. According to research, 46% of smartphone owners consider their smartphones as a necessity for daily living (Smith). Technology has made it possible to incorporate a lot of things in just one phone – you can use it as an alarm clock, a camera, a dictionary, and many more – making it a constant feature in day to day activities. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and other social networking sites have made communication easier, that’s a good thing. However, most college students spend their time interacting with their friends online and that causes them to spend less time bonding with their parents. Likewise, the parents distance themselves from their children when they use technology as a means to bring more work at home. Even if technology

Technology is something very new and foreign to parents. Most parents allow their children to take their phone or other device to bed with them. Some even let them watch television. This isn’t what I would call bad parenting, most parents just aren’t informed. When

My mom can be on her phone a lot but, she tries to regulate her time on it. She gets home at five and she’ll hang out with me and my brothers. When she gets a text or a call she will go outside and answer it. She’s a lawyer and sometimes her clients call and she needs to answer them. She watches the giants baseball game whenever it's on but, overall i think she is not a sceen addict.

Media use across the decades responsively changed because of the technological improvement. While in 1930s popular media platforms were movies, print, and radio; in 1950s television was added to the list. In 1980s computers become a part of the popular media platforms (Gutnick, Robb & Kotler, 2010), and finally in 2000s easily portable mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones may assumed the leadership on this platforms.

The article is about children spending less time to play outside, in the nature. The reason this happen because of their parents, the society, modern development and the safety of today’s world compare to the previous generation.

50% of teens believe that they are addicted to their phones. In Kelly Wallace's article, “Half of Teens Think They’re Addicted to Their Smartphones” she said that “Nearly 80% of teens in the new survey said they checked their phones hourly.” Teens also feel the need to immediately respond to texts no matter what situation that they are in. Parents are starting to see that smartphones are controlling their kids as well. 59% of parents believe that their children are addicted. These results came from a poll of 1.240 people with kids from ages 12 to 18. Some parents have set rules in place to limit the amount of time that their kids spend on mobile devices. A few parents have even said that they didn’t allow their kids to have a smartphone until

Janis Elspas, founder of Mommy Blog Expert, says that she, “believes the rules and boundaries parents set for their children when they get their first cell phone or smartphone might be helpful in heading off any addictions later on.”(9)  Elspas’ children, now 18 and 20, didn’t own their first cell phones until they were at least a junior in high school with money to pay for part of their phone bills.  Elspas also has a no phone rule at table which goes to her and her husband, their children and any friends her kids bring over.  She believes, “Such a rule can prove to kids, firsthand, that they can ‘survive’ without having to see or use their smartphone constantly”(12)  While phone addiction is still running rampant the Common Sense Media poll found that more than a third, 37%, of teens very often or at least occasionally try to cut down on the time they spend on their electronics.  Many parents complain about how this generation overuses and can’t seem to put their phones down, but many parents will admit they don’t always have the easiest time unplugging themselves.  Twenty-seven percent of parents feel that they are addicted to their phones as well and 28% of teens believe they are as well. Both teens and parents admit to checking their at least hourly with parents at 69% and teens at 78%.  About half of parents admitted to feeling the need to immediately

It is summer vacation, no work, no school, time to go out and have some family time with the children. Many projects are planned: go to friends’ house and spend time in the pool, go for a pic-nick, spend the night playing family games, go to the favorite restaurant. Or why not make any housework family project, not interesting, but it may be fun if all family members are involved. Sometimes in the project, there is a place for a trip to Italy. Many ideas and good intentions, instead, only two of those projects are accomplished and most of the time few days before going back to school and work. Those summer days are spent similar than other regular days; The daughter is on the computer playing with friends, or on the phone, the son is on the phone or playing video games, or watching TV, father may be fixing a car or playing video games, mother may be back and forth checking the phone and doing chores. Is this an example of the American family? Probably not for summer vacation, but it is in a regular everyday life. Technology has affected negatively in the everyday life of a family with teens. Even as of Kristin Stanberry, a parent’s guide, reports few social beneficial benefits for teens. According to the 2009 Digital Future Report, 24 percent of American households have at least three computers. In the current study only 15 percent of homes in America do not have a computer. From Pew research survey of 802 teens ages 12-17 and their parents show that: nine in ten have a
