title: The Toll of Too Much Technology on Teens' Mental Health.
abstract: Technology is here to stay, and forbidding adolescents to access electronic media may not be a sustainable solution. Pediatric health care providers should include technology use and the parents' knowledge of the child's technology use, in their screening practices with patients. With the guidance of pediatric nurses, parents and children together can collaborate on ways to maximize the benefits of technology and decrease its risks.
