Most people understand that too much screen time is bad, but screen time has become essential to managing daily life. Unfortunately for a lot of parents, their children respond to screen time repression with resistance and/or tantrums. Most parents don't have time to watch for the signs of screen time problems. Here are the signs of problems with screen time.
Behavioral
- Throwing tantrums when screen time is denied or taken away
- Choosing screen time over activities that are typically non screen based (sports, art, outside)
- Lying and/or omitting the truth about the time spent on screens
- Only the screen can prevent boredom
- Early morning and late night sleep disruption due to screen time
Physical and Emotional
- Complaining of headaches and tired eyes
- Postural issues of a child showing screen time addiction (tilted back with neck looking down)
- Being emotionally dull with a lack of laughter and curiosity
- Preferring friendship with people who aren't physically present over face to face friends
- Bad grades due to too much screen time
Banning all screen time is not a good idea, but talking about the issues in a calm non accusing way is good.
Which of these do you relate to? What strategies are you using successfully at home?
