Read the excerpt.

In a recent study, 70% of teens reported that they check their phones as soon as they get up in the morning. When teenagers start their day by looking at a screen, it only gets worse from there. Evidence shows that excessive screen time causes behavioral issues and interrupted sleep, two things that can have a huge impact on how teens do in school. Therefore, the only solution is to take phones away from teenagers.
