@drranganchatterjee: Smartphones and technology have become a huge part of our children’s lives, but at what cost? These are my 3 reasons why I feel so strongly about this! Would love to know your thoughts on this. #phones #socialmedia #MentalHealth

I am the head of an English Faculty in a secondary school and I banned the use of phones in my faculty last June.

I've seen children eating sweets and drinking energy drinks before going to school which may be linked to social media and lack of sleep

As parents we really need to start writing to our mps and start pushing for regulations and limiting access to social media

Social media needs to be banned for under 18s please!!! Current generation is struggling with severe anxiety issues because of added social pressures ❤️

Full blame lies with the parents. They provide young children with these devices at a young age so they can have an easy life. I’ve seen it so many times

I love the work you are doing but nothing will change it’s to late now. My children won’t have a phone until minimum 16, in the long run they will thank me. Life was so free before the internet ❤️

My 10 and 7 year old begged me for phones a few years ago.. I said no because i knew these would be the findings in a few years to come! I think there’s so much more to come with the research!

I’m such a fan of your podcast and last night we were left gobsmacked. We were torn between giving our 11 year old a phone as he’s the only one. Thanks for your good work

No under 18s for social media. The fact we are not thinking this as a society is the most worrying part of all this.

We definitely need to remove these from young children but policing it is the issue. Some parents won’t remove them as they are exactly that ‘a distraction’ govt need to step up

So true! It is so well designed to keep us addicted- and that is adults. And our kids- they don’t stand a chance! We need to educate ourselves and put in the work to at least decrease the negativity

Yes to all of this! 💯 This is exactly why we make safer tech for kids that lets parents restrict social media and create screen time schedules. 🙌 Thank you for discussing this important topic!

You’re so right - it’s very much linked with the increase in depression and anxiety - false dopamine which can’t replace human contact and excessive stimulation adding to stress

Absolutely 💯 children / teens are so used to be overstimulated by all these devices when they then have to sit and listen in lessons

I agree with you @Dr Rangan Chatterjee but how do we convince parents, my daughter and her children included, to suffer the ‘fallout’ and major meltdowns that trying to reverse this will cause?

I have refrained from 'gifting' my children with mobile phones. How can I justify handing them a tool which entices them easily to filth. There is enough damage already! Is it worth it?

Well said and u speak a lot of sense. I bought a book written by you years ago and u also did a show on tv which I loved. Can you give us steps as to how we could start implementing this with our children??!

It’s tragic with under 5’s and then parents think the kids have a diagnosed problem but can’t be bothered to take and keep the phones away.

You can lock your kids phone down in so many ways! I think people should start doing instructional videos on this! No one knows
