Screen Time
Children spend much of their time at home in front of some sort of screen, whether it be the Television, iPad, Pohne, Tablet, Computer, etc. More and more, children are developing a very sedentary lifestyle and this contributes to obesity, lacking social skills, and and a dependence on technology. Children's bodies and minds are still developing during their adolescence so it is vital that they get an appropriate amount of exercise as well as unstructured free-play. Parents need to limit their children's screen time and be sure they know how they are spending their screen time as well.
