Digital devices were a lifeline for coping with the pandemic, but unbalanced screen use could be problematic for teens’ sleep, mood, and mental and physical health. Children and Screens’ #AskTheExperts webinar “Summer of COVID-19: Teens and Screens,” held on June 8th, 2020 at 12:00pm ET via Zoom, featured an interdisciplinary panel of experts who answered pressing questions to help teens make the most of the summer of COVID-19 and offered insight into the world of teens and screens.
