Addictive behaviors are not sustainable, kids don’t understand this and will get burned by it if they don’t get it sorted out. You should definitely help your offspring understand the urgency of mastering this habit. I suggest asking questions to help them understand that they’re not in control of their behavior, and offer them guidance and resources. You can help them connect with someone either at or near school who can help them master their executive function. And no, 19 year olds are not mature adults.
