Managing Teens and Technology

One of the most common questions we are asked by parents is how they can limit their son’s screen time. Interaction with devices and technology is an important part of a teenager’s life and we can’t prevent it – nor do we want to.

Technology has become an essential part of daily life, and has numerous benefits in relation to academic study, relaxation and social connection. However, many parents are concerned about the amount of time their sons are spending on screens, as well as the impact of social media.
