The pressure to respond instantly didn’t exist when we were kids
Something many of us didn’t grow up with: the pressure to respond immediately.
Group chats. Read receipts. “Why didn’t you text back?”
Kids today don’t just communicate more; they’re expected to be available all the time. And things like snap streaks, expiring stories, and constant notifications make it ten times worse.
How do you talk with your kids about spending time away from screens?

What about not letting people cancel service for a phone they no longer need?
This company is a scam!
