Is the increasing amount of time teens spend on screens related to the increasing levels of anxiety and stress they report? WebMD's HansaBhargavaMD discusses:
Like many 16-year-olds, Elliot Willner of Atlanta spends a lot of time on his screens.
"The question is, is it screens, or several other things," Dr. Bhargava asks. "The second question is, are we giving kids what they need in terms of buffers against all of this run-run-run activity, this crazy-busy life we all lead." Those protective buffers, Bhargava says, are things like getting enough sleep, having family time, and being part of a community."So, family time is already built into the holidays," Bhargava says. "So, you definitely want to maximize on that. A great time to catch up on sleep, another buffer. But it's also a great time to set rules and expectations with your expectations as well.
Elliott Willner says he used to get sucked into games for hours and hours, but he's learned to turn off the games, when he needs to.Pediatrician Hansa Bhargava encourages family's to spend time together.
