    I think the specific issue is that parents ignore their kids to use their phones, which they’re addicted to.

    Stop ignoring your kids, people!

      The research showed that parents’ screen use could negatively affect their interactions with their children, and also established a connection between parents’ and children’s screen habits, with the children of heavy users developing similar habits themselves.

      As another Lemmite mentioned, kids are learning behaviour from their parents.

      No, this is not the issue and the article expounds on that.

      The tl;dr is that kids mirror their parents’ behaviors. If a parent spends multiple hours per day on their phone, the kid thinks that’s what they should do as well.
