Summary | More and more children are addicted to screens, which is worrisome. More and more young people have screen addiction problems and need to see a health specialist to help them. The consequences can be serious: obesity, language delay, sleep disorder, and diabetes. Parents shouldn't prohibit anything, but they should teach their children how to manage their screen time.

Summary | According to a study, texting can have a bad impact on young people's use of grammar. The results show that the more people text, the lower their score on the test was. There is also a correlation between the use of adaptations (e.g. gr8 for great) and a lower score. If parents text their kids with a lot of adaptations, the kids will probably imitate their parents.
