…yes, AND we have also known that young people with mental health problems often report spending more time gaming and online. Instead of calling them addicted because of it, we should ask what they are searching for and what we can do to help them find what they need.
"We have known for over a decade now that screen time is a flawed measure, but we continue to tally time spent on screens instead of asking how young people are spending their time online and why they want to be there"
