As children return to school, two issues are rising to the top of their parents' concerns: the impact of social media and the internet on children's lives.
According to the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health, more than half of parents identify mental health issues as their top health worry for their children and teens.
Overall, mental health and technology use topped this year's top ten list of parent concerns about health-related issues for children in the United States, surpassing childhood obesity, which parents regarded as the top children's health issue a decade ago.
“Parents still view problems directly impacting physical health, including unhealthy eating and obesity, as important children's health issues. But these have been overtaken by concerns about mental health, social media and screen time,” said Mott Poll co-director and Mott pediatrician Susan Woolford, M.D., M.P.H.
Two-thirds of parents are worried about children's increased time on devices, including overall screen time and use of social media, taking the No.1 and No.2 spots on the list of children's health concerns this year, according to the nationally representative poll.
“Children are using digital devices and social media at younger ages, and parents may struggle with how to appropriately monitor use to prevent negative impacts on safety, self-esteem, social connections and habits that may interfere with sleep and other areas of health,” Woolford said.
Screen time became a growing concern for parents during the pandemic, previous reports suggest. Woolford encourages parents to regularly evaluate their children's use of technology and consider limiting use if they notice signs of unhealthy interactions or behaviours. Certain social media and device settings can also help protect kids.
The poll findings, which are based on 2,099 responses collected in February, also demonstrate parents' continued concern about children's mental health. The majority of parents view depression, suicide, stress, anxiety, and related topics like bullying as big problems.
And nearly half of parents expressed concern about a lack of mental health services. “The mismatch between the growing number of youth with mental health concerns and the limited access to mental health services has serious implications for children's well-being,” Woolford said.
Parents also shared a high level of concern about school violence, which may reflect direct experience with school shootings or fights as well as media coverage about such events, Woolford said.
She added that changes to the school environment, such as metal detectors, armed guards and locked doors, as well as active shooter drills may remind children and

Starfield has topped the weekly retail game sales chart in the United Kingdom, according to GamesIndustry.biz head Christopher Dring, who explained that the figure is particularly impressive because Xbox sales tend to skew heavily toward digital.

Impromptu travel plans are great, but booking flight tickets during such times becomes quite expensive. Last-minute bookings usually cost a fortune depending on the airline, destination and cabin class. That means, unless you have miles or some really good discount coupons, you have to shell out a premium. Flight booking platforms such as Skyscanner, and Hopper often provide tentative pricing for flights booked in advance.
