Screen time and your children

Are your kids spending way too much time on their phones?

Don’t ban them…that’s not good either, according to a new study in the New York Post.

Researchers found that limiting a child’s internet time too much can backfire.

Kids who didn’t spend at least some of their free time online had fewer friends and didn’t socialize as much…ao spending some time on social media actually hasĀ  its benefits.

So what’s the perfect amount of screen time?

Most well-adjusted kids spent one to two hours online on weekdays and two to three hours on Saturdays and Sundays.

What’s your screen time like?

Maybe it’s a chance for all of you to scale it back a bit! 😉
