PARENT'S ASSESSMENTS
Smartphone Compulsion Addiction Test for Parents
The Smartphone Compulsion Addiction Test for Parents is a standardized tool designed to help evaluate the extent of problematic or compulsive smartphone use in children and adolescents. This assessment is typically used by parents, healthcare professionals, or psychologists to identify patterns of excessive smartphone dependency that may interfere with daily activities, academic performance, sleep, social interactions, and overall mental well-being.
The tool usually consists of structured questions and rating scales that measure behaviors such as constant checking of the phone, anxiety when not using it, neglect of responsibilities, and difficulty controlling screen time. The results provide insights into the severity of smartphone overuse, helping parents and clinicians understand its impact on the child’s life. Based on these findings, tailored strategies such as digital detox plans, behavioral interventions, counseling, or structured screen-time management programs can be recommended.
This test supports early identification and intervention, promoting healthier digital habits and improving the child’s balance between technology use and everyday life.
SUBSTANCE ADDICTION PARENT
The Substance Addiction Test for Parents is a structured assessment tool designed to help parents or guardians evaluate whether their child or adolescent may be struggling with problematic or addictive use of substances such as alcohol, drugs, or other harmful substances. It provides an early warning system by identifying patterns of risky behavior, dependency, or emotional and physical consequences that the child may not recognize themselves.
This test typically covers areas such as:
- Frequency of Use: How often the child engages in substance use.
- Loss of Control: Difficulty stopping or limiting use despite negative outcomes.
- Behavioral Changes: Sudden shifts in mood, secrecy, or withdrawal from family and social activities.
- Academic or Work Impact: Decline in performance, missed responsibilities, or lack of motivation.
- Physical and Health Symptoms: Noticeable changes in sleep, appetite, or overall well-being.
- Social and Relationship Issues: Conflicts, isolation, or new peer groups associated with risky behaviors.
- Emotional Effects: Signs of anxiety, depression, irritability, or denial when questioned about substance use.
The results are not a clinical diagnosis, but they provide parents with valuable insights into potential substance misuse. This can guide families toward early intervention, professional counseling, medical support, or structured treatment plans if necessary.
