Swedish children complain their parents spend too long on phones | The Guardian

More than a third of children in Sweden’s cities complain that their parents spend too much time staring at phones and tablet computers, leading doctors in the country to warn that children may be suffering emotional and cognitive damage.

According to a survey by YouGov, 33% of parents in Sweden’s major towns and cities have received complaints from their children about their excessive phone use.

The survey also found that more than one in five parents in Stockholm and its suburbs admit to having lost sight of their children while out after being distracted by their phones.
