Every day, I learn a new lesson and try to navigate a map that changes by the second. To put some of these concerns at ease, I'd like to share what I've done and what has (so far) worked for our family. Things may change by the time this article reaches you, so please leave comments and questions below. I will do my best to answer. Background Knowledge: A national survey reported teenagers spend an average of eight hours a day using various forms of media. According to The National Coalition to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse, 77% of all kids between the ages of 8-18 have cell phones. 87% of teenagers between 14-17 years-old own a cell phone, and 31% of these older teens have smartphones. Social media has become so influential in young lives; we can now assure it is a source of addiction for many (kids and adults).Parents with younger children reach out to me in worry and concern.
