352 Phone Checks a Day? How Families Can Break Free from Digital Dependency and Reclaim Connection
Let’s rebuild connection and wellness in the family.
Modern life’s relentless pace has reshaped how we connect, work, and even parent. According to new research from tech care company Asurion, the average person checks their phone 352 times a day — once every three minutes while awake. This digital dependency coincides with a broader wellness crisis, as highlighted by a CDC study showing that 65% of parents report feeling isolated, a figure that jumps to 77% for single parents. These findings underscore an urgent need for families to rethink how they navigate relationships, technology, and well-being.
