We've all heard the buzz about device use and social media impacting our kids' wellness and mental health. Despite the research and news reports, experts are still figuring out if this digital world is helpful, harmful, or both. That's why we're launching a study to explore how kids' digital habits, including social media and online games, tie into their mental wellness, physical activity, and sleep. Let's solve this puzzle together!

    • Submit an interest form for parent1@gmail.com and child1@gmail.com.
