Challenge:
Anna, a 14-year-old high school student, was spending over 6 hours a day on her phone, primarily using social media and playing online games. Her grades had begun to slip, and her parents were worried about her lack of focus in school. She also complained about poor sleep and constant stress from online interactions.
Solution:
Anna joined the Screen Children® program, where she was guided by a certified Screen Addiction Therapist who used biofeedback technology to help her understand how her screen time was impacting her sleep, stress levels, and ability to focus. With a personalized therapy plan in place, Anna learned how to manage her screen habits and implement healthier digital routines.
Results:
- Reduced Screen Time by 80%: Anna successfully cut down her daily screen usage, focusing instead on extracurricular activities and study time.
- Improved Sleep Patterns: With the help of biofeedback data, she recognized how screen use late at night was disrupting her sleep. After following the therapist’s advice, she improved her sleep quality.
- Boosted Academic Performance: Her grades steadily improved as her focus increased, and she reported feeling more engaged during class.
- Reduced Anxiety: By limiting her exposure to social media, Anna experienced less online stress and greater mental clarity.
