Nowadays kids are getting cell phones younger and younger. This is causing a movement nationwide called Wait Until 8th, empowering parents to wait until your child is in 8th grade before getting a smart phone.
“Many parents are like, well I need to know where my child is, I want to have access to them,” said Dr. Vyas. “So it starts off from a safety perspective but then it’s the world at their fingertips, right? It’s hard to contain.”“The way it impacts the brain is it hits the dopamine receptors which is your reward receptors in your brain and so each time there’s interaction with those devices, there’s a little bit of a high,” she explains.
“They’re emotionally more capable of separating the immediate id -- I need this and I need this now,” said Dr. Vyas. “They have a little more tendency of making better decisions by 8th grade.”
