“Stop using your phone when I’m talking to you” may sound like what an angry parent would say to a child, but it is in fact a rule that young people wish to impose on their families, a new study has found.
US researchers surveyed 249 families with children between the ages of 10 to 17 about how technology use was restricted in their households.
The children were also asked which rules they wished they could impose on their parents. Researchers found there were seven common themes.
Parents shouldn’t share information, including photos, online about their children with their explicit permission, the participants also said.
Children also wanted their parents to be more present and stop using technology during conversatons, and use devices in moderation.
