DID YOU KNOW...???
*
SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN SPEND MORE TIME WITH SCREENS (TV, VIDEO GAMES, COMPUTERS, TABLETS AND PHONES) THAN ANY OTHER ACTIVITY BUT SLEEPING?? THAT ADDS UP TO 114 FULL DAYS OF SCREEN TIME EACH YEAR!
*
MORE SCREEN TIME = MORE STRESS! KIDS ON SCREENS 4+ HOURS A DAY ARE TWICE AS LIKELY TO FEEL ANXIOUS.
*
BRIGHT LIGHT KEEPS BRAINS BUSY! SCREENS BEFORE BEDTIME CAN MAKE IT HARDER TO FALL ASLEEP.
*
MORE SCREEN TIME MEANS LESS TIME FOR PLAYING AND MOVING OUR BODIES.
*
KIDS WHO ARE HEAVY SCREEN USERS OFTEN FEEL LESS CONNECTED TO REAL-LIFE FRIENDS.
*
STUDIES SHOW TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME LINKS TO ANXIETY, SADNESS, ANGER, AND LOW CONFIDENCE.
*
LOTS OF DAILY SCREEN TIME CAN MAKE IT HARDER TO FOCUS OR SIT STILL. BREAK TIME HELPS!
*
GOOD HABITS START EARLY! 68% OF TEENS BRING THEIR DEVICES TO BED, AND NEARLY A THIRD FALL ASLEEP WITH THEIR PHONES.
*
BECAUSE OF RISKS LINKED TO CYBERBULLYING, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND ADDICTIVE USE, AUSTRALIA RECENTLY BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY TO BAN CHILDREN UNDER 16 FROM USING MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. OTHER COUNTRIES ARE CONSIDERING SIMILAR BANS.
*
IN THE USA, FAMILIES ARE CURRENTLY SUING META, SAYING APPS LIKE INSTAGRAM WERE DESIGNED TO BE ADDICTIVE FOR KIDS AND MAY CAUSE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
