Ever wonder why our grandkids have such a tough time turning off their devices? Well, there’s a scientific reason. Video games and social media platforms are designed to reward kids for staying online and the longer, the better. It’s a perpetual cycle with no stopping point along the way. Our grandkids receive virtual rewards that their young brains just can’t resist.
