Being Online & Screen Time

While there are many benefits associated with technology use, I also reflect on the potential impact of screen time on wellbeing.

Managing children's screen time at home has often presented challenges. You may continually consider how best to support them and foster their ability to manage this independently as they grow older. 

I encourage you to reflect on your children and their screen time habits. Is there an opportunity to approach this differently? Might you consider trying new strategies? How could you include your children in these conversations? Alternatively, if you are satisfied with your child's screen time, that is also valid. While there may not be definitive answers to these questions, I believe small adjustments can lead to positive outcomes.

Here is a link to some ideas about managing screen time from the eSafety Commissioner that may be useful.

Have a lovely week!
