Screen time management poses significant challenges for modern parents of teenagers, especially following a pandemic spike in usage. Many parents recognize the risks associated with excessive screen time but struggle to implement effective monitoring. Experts, including those at the American Psychological Association, provide strategies to help parents guide their teenagers without feeling overwhelmed. The teenage brain is notably vulnerable to the influences of the digital landscape, highlighting the importance of thoughtful engagement and tailored approaches to screen time management.
