Always on?! Media addiction among children and young people

Social networks, games and streaming portals captivate young people - often to such an extent that hobbies, friendships and family fade into the background. Many adults are also familiar with this: a quick glance at the smartphone and you're already lost in the depths of social media.

Parents in particular are concerned about their children's media use and feel that their daily screen time is too high. They ask themselves:

• At what point does media use become too much?
• At what point is it an addiction?
• What can parents do to prevent it and when do they need to intervene?

klicksafe provides answers to these questions. Our parents' guide provides orientation with a checklist and practical tips. It also provides information on who parents can turn to if excessive media use makes them ill.
