SEPTEMBER Delving Into Devices
A lot of studies have shown that the more kids use media, especially around bedtime, the worse their sleep is. But some uses of handheld devices can have benefits. Kids can use video chat to talk with relatives who live far away. Some educational apps and programs designed especially for children can help them in school. So how can parents find a balance? Here are some tips for setting screentime boundaries: Be a role model and limit your own screen time. Create a house rule that limits screen time and enforce it. Give your kids alternatives to screen time. Suggest playing outside, finding a new hobby, or learning a sport. Do other activities together, such as family board games, puzzles, or going for a walk. Create screen-free bedrooms Don't use TV time as reward or punishment (this makes it seem more important to kids) Make meal time = family time
