In today’s digital world, screens are everywhere—from learning and homework to entertainment and socializing. While technology brings many benefits, finding a healthy balance is key to your child’s wellbeing.
Too much screen time can affect focus, sleep, emotional regulation, and even self-esteem. Children and teens may struggle to disconnect or feel pressure from what they see online. But with gentle guidance and open conversations, we can help them develop healthy habits around screen use.
The goal isn’t to eliminate screens, but to use them mindfully. Create tech-free times—during meals, before bedtime, or family activities. Encourage outdoor play, creative hobbies, and face-to-face interaction. Most importantly, model the balance you want them to have.
By understanding the “why” behind their screen time, and supporting them with empathy instead of judgment, we can foster awareness and healthier choices. Remember: the conversation is just as important as the limit.
