Writing an opinion piece for Christian Post, Jason Jimenez says social media and devices are negatively affecting our kids in five ways: first, devices are bringing out negativity; second devices are fashioning distracted minds; third, devices are producing more anxiety; fourth, devices are creating the craze to cancel others; and fifth, devices are depriving sleep. Jimenez calls on parents to set a good example and to manage kids’ screen time and promote healthy habits.

Mr. Jimenez is right to put the responsibility on parents for their children’s technology use. For the wellbeing of their children, parents need to take this issue seriously and filter all devices, regularly check the devices children have access to, talk and talk some more about the bad and the good of technology, and definitely set time and place boundaries for tech use.
