Mental Health & Wellbeing Report
Dear Parents and Carers,
This week I thought I would share some resources around screen time. Last week, I watched a 7News Spotlight documentary “Breaking screen addiction” and I was shocked to find that screen addiction is impacting hundred of thousands of Australian school children. The attached articles provide practical tips and strategies that parents/carers and teachers can use to manage screen time and how we can collaborate for a balanced and unified approach at home and at school. I hope you find them useful and are willing to give some of the strategies a go.
“Yes, kids love technology, but they also love Lego, scented markers, handstands, books and mud puddles. It’s all about balance.” – K.G, first grade teacher
