Contrary to many adults assumptions they are not simply addicted to their screens oblivious to the afterlife of what they post or missing out on personal connection. They are just trying to navigate a networked world. In Behind Their Screens Emily Weinstein and Carrie James Harvard researchers who are experts on teens and technology explore the complexities that teens face in their digital lives and suggest that many adult efforts to help Get off your phone! Just don t sext! fall short. Weinstein and James warn against a single - minded focus by adults on screen time. Teens worry about dependence on their devices but disconnecting means being out of the loop socially with absence perceived as rudeness or even a failure to be there for a struggling friend. Drawing on a multiyear project that surveyed more than 3,500 teens the authors explain that young people need empathy not exasperated eye - rolling. Adults should understand the complicated nature of teens online life rather than issue commands and they should normalize let teens know that their challenges are shared by others without minimizing or dismissing.
