Screenagers: the real impact of too much screen time

From Nine To Noon, 10:11 am on 8 April 2016

Many parents of teenagers will attest to the fact that their kids are often glued to their screens.  Film maker Lisa Tabb was struggling with this with her own teens and along with physician, Dr. Delaney Ruston, set about finding out just how much teenagers stare at screens, and what the impact is. Together they made the documentary Screenagers which delves into screen addiction and the pressures of growing up in the digital age.

Lisa Tabb talks to Kathryn Ryan about what she found out and how best to deal with 'screenagers'
