Teen smartphone addiction is quickly growing into a new issue parents must face. In the past, parents had to worry about their teens experimenting with drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. Today, parents have all that plus another addiction to worry about: their teens being tethered to their phones for seven, eight, or more hours every day!
Part of the problem with teen smartphone addiction is that it’s hard to address since the use of smartphones is so ingrained into our society. Just about everyone has a smartphone. Parents like being able to reach their teens via text or phone call. Plus, parents can enable phone tracking, so they know exactly where their teens are at when they are not at home.
