Screen Addiction
So, what do we parents and teachers do with a generation who have increasingly higher expectations for how much screen time is considered normal?
I have written before on categorising screen time to give more value to creative pursuits and this has helped family time in my house considerably.
But here’s other ideas I’ve had that help in this increasingly challenging debate about what is good or not good for children.

Overdosing On Social Networks?
https://bit.ly/YfKHkm
How Do You Know When You’re Overdosing On Social Networks?
ocial networks are captivating – there’s no doubt.
But an unforeseen (or potentially foreseen, but ignored) consequence is addiction. Social networks have been so good at “helping” us, but now they’re hindering us. From what you might ask? Well, ask your friends, family, parents, even children what they think ...
... and although it is often joked about, it isn’t a joking matter.

Internet addiction is real, German researchers say

Internet addiction is real, German researchers say.
The team at Bonn interviewed 843 people and found 132 revealed “problematic behaviour” in how they handle the internet.
In what might come as a surprise, to those who assume men are more prone to becoming web-obsessed, the variation perhaps linked to internet addiction appeared to occur more frequently in women. ”The sex-specific genetic finding may result from a specific subgroup of internet dependency, such as the use of social networks,” Dr Montag suggested.

Internet Addiction Guide

Internet Addiction Guide
What "Internet addiction disorder" (IAD) is still difficult to define at this time. Much of the original research was based upon the weakest type of research methodology, namely exploratory surveys with no clear hypothesis or rationale backing them. Coming from an atheoretical approach has some benefits, but also is not typically recognized as being a strong way to approach a new disorder. More recent research has expanded upon the original surveys and anecdotal case study reports.
However, as I will illustrate below later, even these studies don't support the conclusions the authors claim.

Self-Help: Computer Addiction
Some people develop bad habits in their computer use that cause them significant problems in their lives. The types of behavior and negative consequences are similar to those of known addictive disorders; therefore, the term Computer or Internet Addiction has come into use.
While anyone who uses a computer could be vulnerable, those people who are lonely, shy, easily bored, or suffering from another addiction or impulse control disorder are especially vulnerable to computer abuse.

Internet Addiction ... Chronic Childhood Disease
https://mashable.com/2009/10/05/internet-addiction/
Doctor: Internet Addiction Could Become a Chronic Childhood Disease
In August 2008 we reported that reSTART, a rehab center for Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD), was the first facility of its kind to treat the controversial diagnosis in the US.
The disorder has yet to be officially recognized, but specific symptoms have been outlined, and it’s a subject matter that continues to undergo evaluation.
