As young children grow and develop, they need more time in active play, less time sitting and enough sleep each day to be healthy. Time away from screens is time they can be active and build social skills.
After all, our bodies aren’t designed to sit for long periods – we need to move to stay healthy.
Small changes in screen time habits can benefit a child’s physical, social, psychological and cognitive development. Plus, making changes together can help the whole family have healthier screen use, including parents.
