In this class, I will teach my students why mobile phones can become very highly addictive and how to avoid it. What to do if you feel you have an issue with smartphones taking over all your free time. How to stay safe and what not to do with a smartphone. Why apps like Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Kik Messenger, etc. need caution. 

This class is perfect for students aged 9 - 17 years old.

Symptoms of phone addiction:
Are they on it more than 1 hour a day?
Are they becoming isolated from family and friends?
Are they lying to others about how often they use it or what they use it for?
Do they become upset and irritable when they’re not allowed to have it?
Are they neglecting work or school to play video games?
Are they avoiding activities they once enjoyed?
Are they often tired because they’re not getting enough sleep?
