Screen time

I have noticed with my  young children that sometimes it is difficult to bring screen time back into a reasonable balance after school holidays.  While doing several courses in the holidays with tests on mental health, stress, anxiety, and depression the dangers that unbalanced screen time can have on people is quite concerning.   Upon reflection, I determine in our household to abstain from the temptation of allowing our children to have increased screen time in the school holidays. 

My children have had less screen time in the last two weeks in comparison to when they where in term one.  I got concerned in the first four days of the school holidays.  Since implementing the changes two weeks ago,  I have already noticed that there behaviour has been much nicer with one another.   They have gone back to imaginative playing together, appear less tired and sleep better. 

Below is an excellent link that helps you find the balance in your family. Also, there are some photos from last term from the lunchtime sports social club, and the drawing club. The  sports captains and well-being captains have done an amazing job leading these groups.
