INFORMATION ON INCREASE IN SCREEN
TIME IN VIRTUAL LEARNING
 Experts say too much screen time may have alarming
effects on developing brains. A landmark National
Institutes of Health study of 10,000 children that began in
2018 found that those who spent more than two hours a
day using screens scored lower on language and thinking
tests.
 Some children with more than seven hours a day of
screen time also experienced thinning of the brain’s
cortex, the area related to critical thinking and
reasoning.
 Many parents also worry that their children will start
foregoing physical and social activities for digital
pursuits. Some also fear that too much screen time may
suck the joy out of the educational experience.
 “Many children live on their screens. In a majority of
homes, the pandemic has only added to that. Add in
that children doing remote or hybrid models at school
may be doing a lot of screen hours per day,”
said Richard Bromfield, a professor of psychology at
Harvard Medical School. “Throw in cabin fever and
what are children and parents to do? It’s easy to get
into never-ending control battles around your
children’s screens.”
