A survey reported by multiple outlets says many children feel their parents’ phone use cuts into important family moments. The findings focus on children aged eight to 16, with more than half of respondents saying they experience missed quality time because of how much their parents use their phones. The reports describe this as “aimless” or excessive phone use, suggesting the concern is not limited to a specific app or activity but to general screen distraction during shared time. While the outlets emphasize children’s perceptions, they present the issue as a broader relationship and attention problem rather than attributing cause to any single device feature. The survey results are cited as indicating that a majority of children believe phone use prevents them from spending time together in ways they consider meaningful. The coverage is consistent in noting the proportion of children who report this effect, though details about methodology and sample size are not included in the provided summaries.
