Balancing Screen Time And Exercise

⚖️ How Much Is “Balanced”?

”In my opinion, while screens offer valuable learning and entertainment opportunities for kids, it’s essential to balance that time with plenty of physical activity. Encouraging children to move, play, and explore helps their bodies and minds grow strong and healthy. Too much screen time can limit social interaction and physical development, so finding a healthy balance ensures kids benefit from technology without missing out on the joys and health benefits of exercise.”
