Healthy Screen Time

Spending time in front of a screen, playing, watching videos or talking with friends, can be fun and even useful for learning, but as with any good thing, it's important to find a balance so there's also time to play outside, read, sleep well and be with your family without a screen in between. When we spend too many hours in a row online, we can feel more tired, grumpy or have trouble sleeping, and often we don't even notice how much time has gone by until someone tells us. A good habit is to set limits together with your family, such as using a timer to know when to take a break, or agreeing on times of the day without screens, like during meals, to enjoy the other fun things that also exist outside the internet more, without meaning you have to stop enjoying your favorite games and videos.
