I recently read another article on the evils of screen time , this looked at it from a different angle. It did not remind us how detrimental screen time is for brain development, nor did it explain the term "digital dementia" which is very real too, additionally it did not explain the emotional dysregulation screens lead to. It focussed on the time LOST to screens, time that can never be regained. Time that could have been better spent developmentally by running outdoors, playing with other children learning how to moderate behaviour and communicate. Time spent climbing, jumping, doing household chores, moulding playdough...time that cannot be caught up developmentally ever. This was quite alarming and I thought I would share this angle with you too.
