Scenario

When family digital boundaries conflict with teen depression and isolation

Our family keeps having the same fight about phone time at meals because our son's depression makes him want to isolate, but forcing him to put it away makes him completely shut down. We all want connection but nobody knows how to make family time feel good instead of forced.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is trying to force connection through rules when what's needed is creating conditions where connection feels possible.
