Ava’s parents are concerned about the amount of time Ava has been spending on social media. Which indicator suggests that Ava has been spending an unhealthy amount of time online?

A warning sign of unhealthy online use is when it interferes with in-person relationships and leaves someone disconnected from people in their everyday life. Volunteering, taking an online class, and contacting a cousin are not by themselves signs of excessive social media use. The best indicator is that Ava seems disconnected from her real-world peers.
