Description
Behind Their Screens: What Teens Are Facing and Adults Are Missing explores the complexities of teens' digital lives. Contrary to common assumptions, teens are not simply "addicted" to their screens or missing out on personal connection. They are navigating a networked world, seeking social connections and community. Harvard researchers Emily Weinstein and Carrie James examine the challenges teens face online, including dependence on devices and issues like sexting. Drawing on a multiyear project surveying over 3,500 teens, they argue that young people need empathy and understanding rather than exasperation or commands. By normalizing their struggles and sharing their experiences, adults can better support teens in an online world. This book offers valuable insights for any adult concerned about supporting teens in the digital age.
