THE PROBLEM
Is screen time stealing your child's creativity?
Research consistently highlights the potential negative impacts of excessive screen time on child development. Studies indicate that prolonged exposure to digital devices can contribute to shorter attention spans, hindering children's ability to focus on tasks and absorb information. Additionally, the constant stimulation of screens can stifle imagination and problem-solving skills, essential for critical thinking and creativity. Furthermore, concerns have been raised about the correlation between excessive screen time and increased levels of anxiety and social isolation, as children may prioritize virtual interactions over real-world connections.
