    There is a problem with social media addiction but the solution isn’t restricting teens from it. The solution, as with most things, is education. Educating the kids, educating their parents and making sure they both have the tools available to them to make smart decisions.

        No but you can educate their support networks and build other systems to help them work through their addiction.

      Limiting total time spent on something is one of the parental control options. It isn’t just blocking things 100%.

        Just having parental controls exist isn’t an effective solution. Well implemented education is required to ensure it is used effectively.
