How Much Screen Time Should Children Be Allowed Each Day? by Janewrites(f): 11:37am On Oct 20, 2018 |
Parents often complain about the time their children spend glued to a phone, television or playing game. Screen time is called Digital play in the 21st century. Digital play is crucial to children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. While much of screen time is healthy and productive for a child, the amount of time spent on age appropriate contents raises concern. Screen time has to be balanced. Because like the saying goes, too much of everything is bad. Yes, we live in the 21st century when children love to play dress up on the phone than do an actual dress up with mum's make up, when riding of bicycle or football is now done in a video game. It's important to note that as much as digital game is important in a child's development, they still need to do other things like sport activities or playing with their silbling and friends. This leaves us with the question, how many hours is too much? https://africanmommy.com/how-much-screen-time-should-children-be-allowed-each-day/ |
