Le second, l'équipe scolaire — professeur principal, CPE, infirmier ou médecin scolaire — qui voit votre enfant en collectif et déclenche des relais internes rapides. Ces deux portes suffisent pour démarrer ; elles vous orienteront ensuite vers les ressources spécialisées si nécessaire. Inutile de chercher le dispositif parfait avant d'agir : un premier appel vaut mieux qu'un mois de recherche sur internet."

"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Beaucoup sont gratuits ou pris en charge. Les Maisons des adolescents, les points d'écoute jeunes et les consultations jeunes consommateurs accueillent sans frais, souvent de façon anonyme. Les consultations médicales et en centre médico-psychologique relèvent des circuits de soin habituels. Un dispositif d'accompagnement psychologique remboursé existe aussi, selon des conditions qui évoluent. Les montants et les modalités changent régulièrement : vérifiez toujours l'information à jour auprès de l'organisme concerné ou de l'Assurance maladie avant de vous engager, plutôt que de renoncer par crainte du coût."

Présentez la démarche comme un temps pour lui, confidentiel, où il décide de ce qu'il dit. Vous pouvez aussi consulter seul, en tant que parent : beaucoup de structures reçoivent les familles sans le jeune. Enfin, laissez le professionnel de santé porter la proposition : venant de lui, elle passe souvent mieux qu'une décision présentée comme une sanction familiale."

Prévenez l'établissement scolaire, qui a des procédures dédiées, et contactez le numéro national dédié aux violences numériques ainsi que les plateformes de signalement des contenus. Si votre enfant est en détresse, contactez les services d'urgence de votre pays. Rassurez-le : il n'est pas coupable et il n'est pas seul. Un accompagnement psychologique aide souvent à surmonter l'épreuve. Les coordonnées à jour des dispositifs sont publiées par les services publics."

Cherchez un groupe de parole de parents, un lieu de soutien à la parentalité ou un accompagnement psychologique individuel : ces espaces existent et sont faits pour cela. Demander de l'aide n'est pas un aveu d'échec, c'est ce qui vous permet de tenir dans la durée. Un parent soutenu tient un cadre plus stable qu'un parent épuisé qui essaie de tout porter seul."

Raising awareness about screens: who to talk to, what help is available, and how to sustain it
When a child or teenager disengages behind a screen — shortened nights, falling grades, conflicts that explode at the slightest “turn it off now” — the first difficulty is not understanding the problem. It’s knowing who to talk to. The doctor ? The school ? A psychologist ? An association ? On the subject of raising awareness about screens, help and support forms a maze of interlocutors and acronyms where many families go in circles for months before finding the right door.

It answers more practical questions: who to contact for what type of difficulty, what resources actually exist in France, how to make the most of a fifteen-minute consultation, how to recognize your own exhaustion, and how to endure over time without compromising your health or your relationship.
The essentials in 30 seconds
Two entry points are enough to get started: the general practitioner or pediatrician, who listens, guides, and coordinates, and the school team (main teacher, CPE, school nurse or doctor), who sees your child differently than you do.
- Several families of resources coexist — medical support, educational assistance, psychological support, youth listening points, anti-cyberbullying measures, parenting support. Each addresses a different need.
- Many resources are free or low-cost, but largely unknown: Youth Houses, listening points, dedicated consultations, national hotlines.
- An appointment needs preparation — a few dated observations and three written questions are better than an hour of improvised discussion.
- Parental exhaustion is a real risk, not a lack of love. It sets in slowly and can be identified by specific signals.
- Asking for help early is what allows you to cope. Waiting for a crisis closes options and makes each step heavier.
Who does what: the map of contacts
Surrounding a child or teenager struggling with screens, there is not a single contact who has all the answers. The subject touches on health, sleep, school, emotions, and sometimes online safety. Knowing who does what prevents asking the right question to the wrong person — and waiting three weeks for an appointment that will bring nothing.
General practitioner / pediatrician
The first reflex. They listen without judgment, check that no sleep, vision, or attention disorders are hidden behind screen use, and refer to the right specialist if necessary. They also coordinate the rest of the process.
School team
Main teacher, CPE, school life. They see your child in a group: fatigue in class, disengagement, isolation, tensions among peers. A simple exchange often provides information that the home does not perceive.
School nurse / doctor
Health contact within the institution. They can meet the student alone, assess a sense of unease, connect with the family, and refer to external care confidentially.
Psychologist
For what is happening behind the screen: anxiety, self-esteem, avoidance, family conflicts. National Education psychologist at school, or private psychologist, in a medical-psychological center or in a Youth House.
Consultations for young consumers
Specialized structures for excessive use, including screens and video games. Free and confidential support, for the young person as well as for parents, with professionals trained in these issues.
Speech therapist / orthoptist
When the screen intertwines with a language, reading, or vision disorder. On medical prescription, to assess what is related to a learning difficulty and not just screen time.
Specialized numbers and associations
For cyberbullying, exposure to shocking content, or online control: national systems and associations listen, advise, and support reports.
Parenting support
Welcome points, listening places, support networks for parents. To talk not about the child but about you: how to set boundaries, manage conflicts, not to be alone in front of screens.
I have this problem, who should I turn to?
| The situation | The right contact |
|---|---|
| Child in immediate danger or great distress | Emergency services in your country, without delay |
| Destroyed sleep, permanent fatigue, headaches | Primary care physician or pediatrician first |
| Grades collapsing, school dropout | Homeroom teacher and school counselor, then National Education psychologist |
| Withdrawal, lasting sadness, loss of desire | Doctor, then psychologist or Youth House |
| Video games or networks overwhelming everything else | Consultation for young consumers, free and confidential |
| Mockery, threats, or humiliation online | School establishment and national number against digital violence |
| Shocking content, worrying contact from an adult | Reporting platform and, depending on severity, police or gendarmerie |
| Ongoing conflicts at home around the screen | Listening place for parents, family mediation, parenting support |
| I simply don't know where to start | Primary care physician and school team — the two safest entry points |
A simple principle structures this table: health and well-being first go through a health professional, schooling through the establishment, online safety through specialized systems. When you hesitate between two doors, choose the one that seems most accessible to you and let it guide you. No professional will blame you for "not being in the right place": everyone knows how to refer you to the right contact.
Raising awareness about screens: help and support, what really exists
The systems have different names, sometimes change their designation, and see their conditions evolve. To avoid getting lost, it is better to think in terms of major families of needs. First, identify which family you belong to, then ask for the exact name of the applicable system where you live. Here are the categories that appear everywhere.
| Resource Family | What it's for | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Medical support | Rule out a sleep, vision, attention disorder; assess discomfort | Primary care physician, pediatrician, school doctor |
| School support | Dropout, absenteeism, adjustments, re-engagement | Head teacher, school counselor, national education psychologist |
| Psychological support | Anxiety, self-esteem, avoidance, family conflicts | Psychologist, medico-psychological center, Youth House |
| Youth listening points | Neutral space to talk without the label of "care" | Youth listening reception point, Youth House |
| Overuse issues | Video games, social networks, overwhelming screens in daily life | Consultation for young consumers, free and confidential |
| Online safety | Cyberbullying, shocking content, reporting | School establishment, national hotlines, reporting platforms |
| Parenting support | Setting boundaries, managing conflicts, not being alone | Parents' listening place, parenting support network |
French resources to know
In France, several resources exist, often free, yet little used due to lack of awareness. Without going into the details of conditions that change regularly, here are the main ones; always check their scope and current modalities with the organization itself.
- The Youth House. A multidisciplinary welcome place for 11-25 year-olds and their families. You can come without an appointment in many departments, talk to a professional, be listened to and guided. It's often the softest entry point for a teenager who refuses "the therapist".
- The Youth Listening Reception Point (PAEJ). A local, free, and confidential space to talk about discomfort before it settles in. No need for a "real" problem to go there: that's precisely the point.
- The Young Consumers Consultation (CJC). Originally designed for substances, it also welcomes problematic use of screens and video games. Free, anonymous, also open to parents who come alone.
- The Medico-Psychological Center. Public structure for psychological and psychiatric care, with a children-adolescents sector. Consultations are covered; waiting times can be long, hence the interest in seeking other resources in parallel.
- National hotlines. A number dedicated to digital violence and cyberbullying, a number against school harassment, reporting platforms for illegal content: they listen, advise, and help take action. Up-to-date contact information is published by public services.
- The reimbursed psychological support scheme. Sessions with a partner psychologist may be covered under evolving conditions. Inquire about the current scheme with Health Insurance or your doctor.
1. Talk to the school team early: they trigger quick internal relays and see your child from a different angle. 2. Note everything in one place — observations, dates, reports, contact details — in a single folder or notebook. 3. Don't look for the perfect device before taking action: make initial contact, it will guide you to the next step.
Beware of a common trap: waiting for the situation to be "serious enough" to seek help. Most of these resources are designed for prevention, that is, to intervene before the crisis. Consulting early is not dramatizing: it is giving yourself the means to act while there is still room for maneuver.
Where to turn, concretely
Knowing that a resource exists is not enough: you also need to know how to contact it and what to expect. Here are the most reliable entry points, from the most immediate to the most specialized, along with what they actually provide.
| Entry Point | What it provides | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| General practitioner / pediatrician | Listening, examination, guidance, coordination | Request a consultation specifically on the subject, not a "passing" reason |
| School nurse or doctor | Health perspective within the school, confidentiality | Can see the student alone; reachable through school administration |
| Teenagers' house | Multidisciplinary welcome for youth and families | Often without appointment; national online directory |
| Youth listening point | Local listening, free and anonymous | Ideal for early signs of distress |
| Consultation for young consumers | Screen and gaming use that overflows | Open to parents alone, without the youth |
| National hotlines | Cyberbullying, school bullying, reporting | Listening and assistance with the process; contact details published by public services |
| Specialized associations | Information, prevention, support groups | Know local resources better than any website |
One piece of advice applies to all these contacts: when you call, prepare a clear opening sentence. For example: "Hello, I am the parent of a 14-year-old teenager, I am concerned about their screen use and fatigue, I am looking to find out who can help us and where to start." This simple sentence immediately directs your interlocutor and avoids ten minutes of uncertainty.
Contact details, hours, and areas of action change: always verify the current information with the organization itself, especially for numbers and reimbursed services. If your child is already being followed somewhere — at school, with a professional — ask that person which resources they recommend: it is often the shortest path.
Understand to act without feeling guilty

An appointment rarely lasts more than fifteen to twenty minutes. Without preparation, it slips into generalities and you leave with the same questions as when you entered. A few simple reflexes change everything — and apply equally to the doctor, school, or psychologist.
- Observe over the days, not the day before. Note one line per observation : what has changed, when, in what circumstances. “ Goes to bed at 1 AM on weekdays for three weeks ” is a thousand times more useful than “ he is always on his phone ”. A simple notebook or a note on your phone is enough.
- Choose a maximum of three questions, written, ranked by order of importance. Beyond three, the last one will not be addressed. Put the one that keeps you awake at the top.
- Describe facts, not judgments. “ He refuses to turn off and it ends in shouting almost every evening ” rather than “ he is addicted ”. Facts allow the professional to assess ; labels shut down the discussion.
- Involve your child when possible. Depending on their age, ask them what they would like to say or change. A teenager who has been heard cooperates much better than a teenager who is “ taken ” to a professional.
- Rephrase before leaving. “ If I understood correctly, we are implementing this and we will meet again in a month, is that right ? ” This is the best filter for misunderstandings.
- Ask who to contact between appointments, and in what situations. This one question saves you weeks of hesitation.
The most valuable questions
- Does what I observe fall within the normal development for their age, or should I be concerned ?
- Is there a sleep, vision, or attention issue to rule out first ?
- What signs should prompt me to consult without delay ?
- Is a firmer framework better, or a more flexible support, in their specific case ?
- Which professional do you recommend if this does not improve ?
- What can I do, at home, starting this week ?
- Is there an aspect I should monitor that I am not currently monitoring ?
Several public health organizations recommend avoiding screens for toddlers and strongly supervising them for children. Known approaches, such as the "3-6-9-12" rule proposed by psychiatrist Serge Tisseron, help establish age-related guidelines. These frameworks are useful for discussing with a professional, but they do not replace personalized advice regarding your child's situation.
Parental exhaustion: recognizing it in time
We talk a lot about the child and rarely about the parent. However, daily support for a child struggling with screens is exhausting: repeated conflicts, constant monitoring, fear of doing wrong, and loneliness eventually weigh heavily. Exhaustion does not announce itself. It accumulates over months, during which one thinks that it's okay, that others are doing much worse, that it's not the right time to complain.
The body is tired
Sleep that no longer restores, tension in the neck, headaches, repeated infections. The body absorbs what the mind refuses to name.
The mind shrinks
Permanent irritability, easy tears, difficulty concentrating at work, feeling like everything is a failure, ruminating in the evening about the day gone by.
Life shrinks
Cancelled outings, friends not called anymore, hobbies abandoned. All energy goes into managing daily life and conflicts.
The relationship deteriorates
Irritation towards your child, immediate guilt for having lost your temper, feeling like you've become "the screen police" rather than a parent.
If three of these descriptions apply to you for several weeks, it is not just a simple fatigue: it is a signal. The best first step is simple and often postponed for months: make an appointment for yourself, with your doctor, and tell them what you are experiencing. A collapsing parent means two people in difficulty instead of one — and a framework that becomes impossible to maintain.
A persistent sadness, a loss of interest in everything, established sleep disorders, an increase in alcohol or medication consumption, or thoughts where you feel that everyone would be better off without you: talk to a health professional quickly. These situations can be treated. In case of immediate distress, contact the emergency services in your country. You do not have to cope alone while waiting for it to pass.
A word on guilt, as it appears in almost all testimonies collected by parent associations: no, you did not "let it happen." Screens are designed to capture attention, including that of adults. Blaming yourself for not maintaining a perfect framework is as unfair as it is unnecessary. What matters is not the past, but what you are putting in place now — and the fact that you no longer have to do it alone.
The right to take a break and seek help
Taking a break is not giving up. It is a condition for lasting endurance. Several forms of support exist: find out about those available near you before you have an urgent need, as access times are rarely immediate.
| Type of support | Principle | Useful when |
|---|---|---|
| Parent support groups | Facilitated meetings, often through an association or adult social care services. | You feel alone and misunderstood — this is the most common need |
| Parenting support | Workshops, listening places, practical advice to set a framework | Conflicts are looping and you lack leverage |
| Psychological support for the parent | Individual consultations for you, not for the child | The emotional burden spills over into work, the couple, sleep |
| Relief from the surroundings | Another parent, grandparent, trusted adult who takes over | You need regular slots, even if just for a few hours |
| Family mediation | A neutral third party helps to untangle an established conflict | The dialogue is broken, every discussion escalates |
A common remark in almost all support groups : the first request for help is the hardest, the following ones are much simpler. The blockage is almost never administrative — it is internal, made of shame and the idea that a “ good parent ” should manage alone. No one manages alone, and that is not the issue.
❌ To avoid : waiting until you are completely exhausted to seek support. Exhaustion makes every step heavier and reduces the quality of decisions. The right window to ask for help is when you feel it is becoming hard — not when you can’t take it anymore.
Balancing work, family, and support
Many concerned parents are also employees, managing by cutting back on their leave, breaks, and nights. Balancing does not happen spontaneously : it is built, with a few simple principles that prevent everything from resting on one person.
- Find out about your rights before you are in difficulty. Some medical appointments or school meetings may justify an absence authorization or an adjustment. Ask your human resources department ; advance requests obtain much more than those made in an emergency.
- Distinguish what requires your presence — an appointment with the psychologist, for example — from what can be delegated or postponed. Not everything has to weigh on you, and not everything has to be done this week.
- Explicitly distribute tasks among the adults in the family. A written distribution, even imperfect, avoids the spiral where the most present parent does everything and exhausts themselves in silence. The framework on screens should be communicated by two voices, not by a single “ bad guy ”.
- Protect a time slot that belongs to you. Two hours a week, at a fixed time, considered non-negotiable just like an appointment. This is not a luxury : it is what allows you to remain available the rest of the time.
On the daily organization side, a few free tools lighten the mental load and shift the relationship from conflict to cooperation. The weekly homework planner and the backpack checklist make the child more autonomous and reduce reminders. A school gamification system turns efforts into visible goals. For teenagers who struggle with emotions related to screen time, the emotional regulation toolkit and the cognitive restructuring sheet provide concrete support. The entire catalog of free tools is freely accessible.
For younger ones, replacing part of passive screen time with a chosen and time-limited activity often helps more than a strict ban. The application COCO, designed for 5-10 year olds, offers short games that alternate with an invitation to move, which helps frame usage rather than endure it. For adults who want to maintain their own attention, the application CLINT and the cognitive tests can complement the approach.
Training, to no longer endure
A large part of parents' fatigue does not come from screens themselves, but from uncertainty : not knowing if a certain behavior is serious, if one is doing well, if one can insist or if one should let go, if one should consult or wait. Understanding what is at stake transforms dozens of daily micro-decisions into assured actions — and reduces tension at home.
This is the purpose of the online training “ Raising awareness about screens : understanding, acting, supporting ”. It includes 18 short lessons, to be followed at your own pace, entirely online, with unlimited access to revisit when a new situation arises. It is aimed at both parents and education professionals, early childhood workers, or animators who support young people on a daily basis. DYNSEO is a training organization certified Qualiopi (N° 11757351875) and provides a certificate of completion. The fee is €20.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where to start when you know nothing about the procedures ?
Through two contacts. The first, the general practitioner or pediatrician : they listen, rule out a sleep, vision, or attention disorder, and coordinate the next steps. The second, the school team — main teacher, school counselor, nurse, or school doctor — who sees your child in a group and triggers quick internal referrals. These two points are enough to get started ; they will then guide you to specialized resources if necessary. There’s no need to search for the perfect system before taking action : a first call is better than a month of searching on the internet.
Are these supports paid ?
Many are free or covered. The Youth Houses, youth listening points, and young consumer consultations welcome without charge, often anonymously. Medical consultations and those in a medico-psychological center fall under the usual care pathways. A reimbursed psychological support system also exists, under conditions that change. The amounts and modalities change regularly : always check the up-to-date information with the relevant organization or the Health Insurance before committing, rather than giving up out of fear of cost.
My teenager refuses to see "a shrink", what should I do ?
Start with spaces that don’t carry the label of "care" : a Youth House or a youth listening point, where one can talk without being a "patient". Present the approach as a time for them, confidential, where they decide what to share. You can also consult alone, as a parent : many structures welcome families without the young person. Finally, let the health professional make the suggestion : coming from them, it often goes over better than a decision presented as a family sanction.
What to do in case of cyberbullying ?
Act quickly and keep records. Take dated screenshots, without responding to messages. Notify the school, which has dedicated procedures, and contact the national hotline for digital violence as well as content reporting platforms. If your child is in distress, contact your country's emergency services. Reassure them : they are not to blame and they are not alone. Psychological support often helps to overcome the ordeal. Up-to-date contact information for the systems is published by public services.
And what if it's me, the parent, who is at the end ?
Your health is part of the equation, not just your child's. Make an appointment with your own doctor and tell them what you are experiencing. Look for a parents' support group, a place for parenting support, or individual psychological support : these spaces exist and are made for that. Asking for help is not an admission of failure, it’s what allows you to endure in the long run. A supported parent maintains a more stable framework than an exhausted parent trying to carry everything alone.
