It can be easy, for adults and children alike, to spend too much time in front of screens.
Modelling healthy relationships with your devices will help children and teens do the same. Use these best practices to get started!
Plan activities away from devices. It’s sometimes the “default” activity to sit on the couch in front of your TV, or on other devices. Find other ways to relax, like time outside, cooking or reading.
If you access porn , or have nude images or videos on your devices, make sure this content is password protected.
Practice “screen-free” time for meals and social activities.
Avoid device use for an hour before bed – this can impact sleep quality.
Media “multitasking” can make it hard to focus on homework.
