Mccabe, who lives in Tranmere, England, describes her 1-year-old son as her "little blessing" and wanted him to be part of her prom.

Editor’s Note: To read the first of this three-part series, visit www.statecollege magazine.com/centered/. My two daughters bemoan the ever-present tendency of older adults to rant about how bad screentime is for children and teens (screentime refers to hours spent in front of any kind of screen — from smartphones to tablets to laptops, gaming and TV watching). So, I want to start by making it clear this is not an article about how screentime is always “bad.” Indeed, our “smart” devices provide many benefits to all of us — from social connectedness (especially important for marginalized groups, such as LGBTQIA youth) to remote work and distance learning, to online libraries and entrepreneur start-up development, to name just a few.
