Stressed out parent

Parenting nowadays is very challenging and often incredibly stressful due to long working hours, busy schedules and information overload that we all must navigate. All this commotion leaves parents with very little time, very little emotional energy and very little physical strength to engage with their child. As a result, parents end up using smartphones and technological gadgets to distract, occupy and reward their child and this seemingly benign move has significant ramifications for child and adolescent mental health.
