SCREEN TIME & SOCIAL MEDIA

As doctors and parents, we support any efforts to improve our children’s health and back the government’s move to reduce cell phone use in schools. Too much screen time poses a big risk to the health of babies, kids, and teens. The Surgeon General also warns that screen time, video games and social media can seriously affect the mental well-being of teenagers.

During the COVID lockdowns, many parents noticed a decline in physical activity and an increase in screen time among their children. The provided resources aim to assist parents in addressing these challenges within their families.
