Do you know everything that your child sees on their smartphone? You may be surprised to learn just how much you don’t know.

Teen Smartphone Habits and Their Overall Effects [One Minute Feature]

We’ve talked a lot about how technology has affected our modern culture, and smartphone usage may be the primary culprit. As more and more information is available at your teen’s fingertips, it should come as no surprise that they are being heavily influenced by their friends and the media every single day. Just how much, and in what ways, could your teen’s smartphone habits be affecting them?

How a Teen’s Smartphone Usage Could Contribute to Emotional and Mental Issues

Whatever you think you know about your child’s smartphone use, I can tell you from experience, you don’t know what you think you know. I don’t know what I think I know about my kids’ smartphone use. But, as they’re all adults now, it’s no longer my responsibility.

Obviously, I don’t know you, your kids, or their smartphone habits, but I do know that parents would be blown away by what their kids are regularly exposed to. We wonder why Junior is cold and distant, sullen and withdrawn, or depressed and indifferent. We wonder why he’s forsaken all he’s been taught about morality and wisdom, and how he was attracted to all the appetites of the carnal world. The answer is incredibly simple.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
