How parents can manage children’s screen time
SUMMARY: Dr. Keith Watson of the West Point Children’s Clinic warns against excessive screen time for children, as it can lead to fatigue, eye strain, headaches, and sleep disturbances. The CDC states that insufficient sleep in children can lead to various health issues. Excessive phone use can lead to vision problems, sore fingers, poor posture, and ADHD-like symptoms. Although it may be difficult to limit screen time due to the prevalence of technology, Watson recommends taking frequent breaks from screens and getting outdoor exercise. The use of technology in classrooms is also contributing to increased screen time. It is recommended to see a primary care doctor if you notice changes in your child’s behavior due to excessive screen time.
