Teens Learn by Finding Answers for Themselves

Recent research shows that when students look up answers to schoolwork questions on their phones, they often don't remember the information long-term—and they score lower on tests of the material later.

Encourage your teen to figure out the answer for herself—by solving the problem, checking her notes or looking in a textbook. After she thinks she's got it, she can use her phone to double-check.
