If you’re worried about the time your child is spending online, you’re not alone. Technology is often intentionally designed with addictive design features that make it hard for us all to stop using our devices, whatever our age. 📱😵‍💫

Search ‘NSPCC Online Safety’ for advice on how to support your child and set healthy boundaries, or get in touch with our Helpline at 0808 800 5000 or [email protected].

‘Signs a young person may be struggling with their device use: Frequently arguing with you about device use and screen time, withdrawing from friends or family to spend more time online, difficulties at school – such as grades worsening or missing homework, moods changing often or quickly, where there seems to be a link to device use, using devices at times or in places that you’ve agreed they won’t – such as in their bedroom or late at night, getting symptoms like headaches, eye strain and fatigue, when other causes have been ruled out.’
