'Phubbing' is quietly damaging relationships, experts warn
Original: Your teen does it, and you do too. How 'phubbing' hurts your relationship
Parents and teens alike are being warned about 'phubbing' – snubbing someone in favour of a phone. The practice is described as common within families, with parents and teenagers both guilty of scrolling during conversations, and it is said to erode trust, communication and closeness in relationships. Experts are encouraging families to set boundaries around device use and make time for phone-free interaction.
Why now: Phone overuse in families is a persistent concern, and parenting advice highlighting its effect on relationships resonates with parents who recognise the behaviour in themselves and their teens.
