Screen time
Learn how digital media affects your child’s brain, sleep, focus, and mood—plus how to set healthy boundaries without guilt or conflict.
Screens are part of everyday life, but excessive or unstructured screen time can affect attention, sleep, behavior, and emotional regulation in children. Not all screen time is harmful—some content supports learning and creativity. The key is mindful use. By understanding the risks and benefits, parents can create healthier digital habits that work for their child and family.
When screen time becomes excessive, children may show signs like irritability when unplugged, difficulty sleeping, reduced physical activity, or withdrawal from other interests. You might also notice shorter attention spans, emotional outbursts, or challenges with social interaction. These signs signal it may be time to reassess your child’s media habits.
