📱 New Research Worth Noting for Parents

A recent study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that children who receive a smartphone at a younger age—particularly before age 12—may be at higher risk for challenges related to mental health, sleep, and overall well-being as they move into adolescence.

The study links earlier smartphone ownership to increased rates of:
• Depression
• Poor sleep
• Weight-related health concerns

Technology isn’t the enemy—but timing, boundaries, and guidance matter, especially during critical developmental years.

At The Woodlands Behavioral Health & Wellness Center, we help families navigate these conversations, set healthy boundaries, and support kids as they grow up in a digital world—with their mental health front and center. 💛

Authors said they are not advocating for restrictions on youths owning phones, but ownership “requires dedicated oversight.”
