Each day, we hear that smartphones and social media are making our children particularly teenagers lazy, addicted, lonely and especially unable to function in the real world. Another study says that there is no compelling evidence that spending time online has a deleterious effect on teens’' mental health. But, the reality is just an hour a day staring at a screen can be enough to make children more likely to be anxious or depressed.
