📱 “I Feel Like I’m Losing My Child to the Screen…”
A Growing Challenge for Today’s Parents

Last week, a mother told me something I hear far too often:

“I feel like I’m losing my child to the screen. He walks in, grabs the tablet, and the rest of the world disappears.”

She’s not alone.
Parents love their children — yet many feel helpless watching screens slowly replace real life.

But here’s the truth:

👉 The problem isn’t just the screen.
It’s the loss of balance, weakened connection, unclear boundaries, and emotional overload — all of which leave kids overwhelmed and parents exhausted.

🔍 Why Is This Happening?

Is it the endless scrolling?
The dopamine-driven games?
Or the emotional gap screens quietly fill?

For most families, it’s a combination of emotional needs, habits, and stress patterns that slowly take over daily life.

🧠 Let’s Talk About It

I’d genuinely love to hear your perspective:

❓ Do screens cause focus and connection issues in children?
❓ Or is something deeper happening in how we parent, support, and guide them?
