Parental device use and the adolescent-caregiver attachment bond

A study explores the relationship between parental device use and adolescent-caregiver attachment bond, suggesting that excessive parental device use can negatively impact this bond. This matters for parents and caregivers who want to maintain a strong relationship with their adolescents. To mitigate this, parents can set boundaries around their device use and engage in activities with their adolescents. The study's findings highlight the importance of balancing device use with face-to-face interaction.
