Is Screen Time Hurting Your Child?

In today's digital age, screens are everywhere, and children are spending more time than ever on devices. But too much screen time can have a lasting impact on their mental, physical, and social well-being. From mood swings and disrupted sleep to reduced focus at school, the effects of excessive gaming and screen use can creep up gradually, making it hard for parents to notice right away.

What Are the Warning Signs of Excessive Screen Time?

Common signs of overuse include:

1)Irritability or mood swings when screen time is interrupted.

2)Reduced interest in other activities like playing outside, reading, or hobbies.

3)Difficulty focusing on tasks at school or at home.

4)Sleep disturbances such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.

5)Social withdrawal and choosing screens over friends or family time. If these sound familiar, it might be time to take action. By understanding and recognizing these signs, you can create a balanced approach to technology in your household, supporting your child's development and well-being.
