Limiting tech usage can be especially challenging with early adolescents as they start develop sense autonomy. While numerous tech-based mediation solutions exist, in this paper, we aim learn from directly by having them contribute co-design activities. Through multi-session, group-based, online study 21 (ages 11-14), explore perceptions towards overuse what types propose help disengagement. Findings these sessions insights into how the participants conceptualized problem overuse, envisioned appropriate strategies, important design considerations.

Results Analyses using multiple linear regression, revealed a positive between 4.5 years. Parental also positively symptoms. Associations were observed above individual (child age, inhibitory control, sex) family (parent education income) characteristics.
