How Teens and Parents Approach Screen Time

The development of physical activity and sedentary behaviors in young children, especially during their formative years, is significantly influenced by various factors, including the modeling and practices of parents, as well as the overarching parenting style and parental self-efficacy. Parenting style encompasses the overall approach that shapes the emotional environment in which parental behaviors are conveyed and understood by the child. It serves as a framework that can moderate the effects of specific parenting practices on a child's development. Additionally, parental self-efficacy pertains to a parent's confidence in their ability to effectively manage and perform parenting-related tasks.

Most teens at least sometimes feel happy and peaceful when they don’t have their phone, but 44% say this makes them anxious. Half of parents say they have looked through their teen’s phone

The purpose of our presence: On any given day in the United States, over 400,000 children are placed in foster care. The most at-risk children, particularly those who experience abuse and neglect, are often the ones who suffer the most within a flawed foster care system. We invite you to explore our bookstore or the parenting channel to learn more about fostering healthy parenting practices and building enduring relationships with your children.
