We are facing an “epidemic of loneliness and isolation” according to the U.S. Surgeon General and young people are more at risk than anyone else.
Children have never been more connected but have never felt more isolated. They may be online “almost constantly,” but the number of teens reporting loneliness at school has almost doubled between 2012-2018.
As parents, we face a dilemma: if we encourage our children to spend more time offline, we risk being told to “stay out of it.” But if we leave them to their own devices, literally and figuratively, we risk an increase in the chances they’ll face depression and anxiety.
