The advocacy group Screen Education surveyed over a thousand kids at summer camps where no phones were allowed. Sixty-nine percent of campers surveyed said they would be happier if they could spend less time on their cell phones each day. Ninety-three percent said they were relieved to get a break from social media. Unfortunately, for many parents, a full break from devices may not be realistic. “I would argue more for a balance rather than a complete break,” said Dr. Bethany Fleck Dillen, a Metropolitan State University of Denver psychology professor.
