Description

In this episode, I dive into the article "Effects of Excessive Screen Time on Child Development: An Updated Review and Strategies for Management" by the NIH. The main points focused on were 1) Decrease in academic performance 2) Negative effects on language development 3) Social-Emotional Development 4) Strategies for managing screen time for you and your kids (the first 3 are all as a result of abusing screen time and the context in which screens are used).

Episode 5: Screen Time Connected to Poor Sleep and Lack of Energy

This episode is slightly different than the others. There is one main point, and I explore 3 different sources to back me up. The articles were "Doing Nothing Can Make You More Productive", "Why You Should Ditch Your Phone Before Bed", and "How Electronics Affect Sleep". I talked about our phones distracting us before bed, the effects of blue light, melatonin decreases, how your screens stimulate you before bed, the importance of nightly routines, and more. Follow along with me by accessing the articles with these links(they are in the order listed above): https://time.com/6254135/doing-nothing-more-productive/ https://health.clevelandclinic.org/put-the-phone-away-3-reasons-why-looking-at-it-before-bed-is-a-bad-habit https://www.sleepfoundation.org/how-sleep-works/how-electronics-affect-sleep
