develop socially and emotionally, when used in balance;
creating common platforms of socialization, exchange
of information leading to more understanding and

Reasons for Limiting Screen TimeGets in the way of exploring, playing, and social interaction.
As kids get older, screen time can get in the way of being active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family.
Kids who spend more time watching TV are more likely to be overweight or obese.
Why is it good to unplug?
Obesity. Excessive screen use, as well as having a TV in the bedroom, can increase the risk of obesity. Teens who watch more than 5 hours of TV per day are 5 times more likely to be overweight than teens who watch 0 to 2 hours. This is in part due to the fact that viewers are exposed to advertising for high-calorie foods. Viewers are also more likely to snack or overeat while watching screen media.
Sleep problems. Media use can interfere with sleep. Children and teens who spend more time with social media or who sleep with mobile devices in their rooms are at greater risk for sleep problems. Exposure to light (particularly blue light) and stimulating content from screens can delay or disrupt sleep, and have a negative effect on school.
Problematic internet use. Children who overuse online media can be at risk for problematic Internet use. Heavy video gamers are at risk for Internet gaming disorder. They spend most of their free time online, and show less interest in offline or "real-life" relationships. There may be increased risks for depression at both the high and low ends of Internet use.
Negative effect on school performance. Children and teens often use entertainment media at the same time that they're doing other things, such as homework. Such multi-tasking can have a negative effect on school.
Risky behaviors. Teens' displays on social media often show risky behaviors, such as substance use, sexual behaviors, self-injury, or eating disorders. Exposure of teens through media to alcohol, tobacco use, or sexual behaviors is associated with earlier initiation of these behaviors.

Screen Smart
Youth and screen time
Ways to Limit Screen Time
Keep the TV/computer out of sight
Put it in rooms not used by children
Hide it with a blanket or sheet
Get rid of it Replace screen time with fun, interactive activities
Play outside
Turn on music and dance
Bring kids into the kitchen and let them help you set the table, cook, and clean up
When screen time is allowed:
Make it “quality programming” by choosing shows or computer games that are educational or get kids moving.
Track screen time with a simple scheduling sheet so you know how much screen time a child has and when they’ve reached their limit for the week.
Avoid watching while eating.
Touch screen technology Does NOT count as ‘active’ screen time. Watch the quality of children’s movement with active video games.
Color Me Healthy music gets kids up and moving to a fun and happy beat!
Turn on Music Instead of the TV!
