Check out this video about the impact of screen time on developing brains with research from the Journal of the American Medical Association- Pediatrics. If your family is feeling like screens are taking over your life, take time to start planning screen-free experiences for your whole family for the winter break and beyond. This article includes a link for establishing a family media plan, including individual media plans based on a child’s age. The link can be translated to Spanish.
