The cause of screen and porn addiction is simple but so frightening that we consistently refuse to address it, even here at The Free Press. Children become addicted to substances or behaviors only because they’re in emotional pain, the same reason that people become addicted to alcohol or drugs. Ah, but what is the source of the pain? More than anything, children want to feel loved unconditionally, which means to be loved without any disappointment or irritation. But rarely do they get that, which is unbearably painful to a child. Then they use anything—screens, porn, cutting, anger, and much more—that will diminish the pain. The solution comes not from schools, programs, or the government. The answer is to teach parents how to give their children unconditional love. The answer is not a mystery. Find it at RealLoveParents.com, a free site dedicated to teaching parents.
