Estudio revela que distracciones digitales de padres afectan la confianza de adolescentes

Un nuevo estudio ha encontrado que los adolescentes que sienten que sus padres o cuidadores están frecuentemente distraídos por dispositivos digitales tienden a experimentar una menor confianza en sus relaciones. La investigación, que encuestó a 600 jóvenes de entre 12 y 17 años en EE. UU., sugiere que esta percepción puede contribuir a estilos de apego inseguros, lo que se traduce en ansiedad en las relaciones y una tendencia a la retirada emocional. La Dra. Leana Wen, experta en bienestar, enfatiza la importancia de la conexión emocional entre padres e hijos, sugiriendo que momentos de distracción pueden tener un impacto acumulativo en la percepción de seguridad de los adolescentes. Este hallazgo es crucial para las familias en un mundo cada vez más digitalizado.
