Managing Screen Time

Screen time refers to the amount of time spent using electronic devices such as phones, computers, televisions, and tablets. Managing screen time is integral to a child’s overall wellbeing and development, both physically and mentally. Children need to establish healthy habits and boundaries around screen time use from the moment they are handed any electronic device. Developing healthy screen use habits will ensure your child also has plenty of time for other activities such as playing, reading, spending time with family and friends, and participating in physical activities. There are both benefits and drawbacks to screen time, learning how to make good decisions about when and how much to use their devices will help children find the right balance.
