In a recent study by non-profit Common Sense Media, nearly half of the adults surveyed said that their children exhibited addictive behavior in their use of a smartphone. But parents were split on whether or not new technologies are actually harming the mental health of children. As this chart by Statista show s, 50% of the parents surveyed were worried about their child's smartphone use and its effect on their mental health.
