Addiction to screens in childhood and adolescence has become a highly relevant problem in recent years. Both the toxic cultural content consumed through these devices, as well as the strategies used by large software companies, cause serious behavioral problems. Children and adolescents are the most vulnerable public, who can quickly become "technological zombies".

In this talk, fathers and mothers receive a series of tips and recommendations to recognize the dark side of screens, the symptoms of addiction to screens, set limits and how to monitor the use (and abuse) of technology. Relevant scientific and statistical evidence is shown, focusing on the critical analysis of the use of technology in both educational and daily activities, as well as its relationship with the physical and mental health of children and adolescents. In the last part of the talk, a practical guide is provided with control and supervision tools to deal with the symptoms, as well as solutions to achieve a healthy environment at home. In short, how to unplug the screen to connect with the family.
