A new study shows that using screens as a reward may backfire for tweens and teens.
Using screens for rewards or punishment is associated with kids using screens more."If you don't behave at the party, you'll have no screens later.""If you get a good grade on that homework, you'll have more iPad time." These ways of talking to kids about screentime are understandable—and yet recent research suggests there may be a more effective way to talk to tweens and teens.
Also, it shows us how our conversations about when kids"get" screentime matter. It's not just about the amount—it's about whether we're using screentime as aor reward or not. The short answer: using screens as a way to manage kids' behavior links to them using screens more, and in less healthy ways. These two kids are"on" social media exactly the same amount. On the surface, their usage might look the same. But the key difference lies in how much mental space this social media use is taking up. In a healthier use, kids aren't constantly thinking about their lives in terms of their social media use. Instead, it's just a part of a much richer life. Ideally, if screens are a part of children’s lives, they’re a way of connecting with others and exploring.
