Kids & Screen Time
Technology is now accessible in almost every part of the world and it has completely changed the way we interact with one another. Though we’ve made many great technological advances, studies have shown that screen time can have an impact on your child’s development.
Screen time
This document provides information and best practices for limiting screen time for children. It recommends no screen time for infants and toddlers under 2 years old. For preschoolers, it suggests limiting screen time to 30 minutes per week maximum and only for educational purposes while in childcare. It lists reasons for limiting screen time such as interfering with exploration, play, and social interaction. Suggested strategies include hiding TVs and replacing screen time with interactive activities like playing outside, dancing, and helping in the kitchen. The document provides resources on tracking screen time and choosing educational programming.
Young children and screen time
The document discusses the debate around appropriate screen time for young children. It examines benefits such as learning social skills through coviewing with adults, but also risks like increased obesity, behavior issues, and sleep problems. One study found that children ages 6 months to 2 years who used handheld screens for more than 30 minutes daily faced a 49% increased risk of speech delays. While technology can enhance learning if used moderately, excessive screen time may stunt cognitive development in young children by replacing important environmental stimuli. The conclusion is that caregivers should limit screen time and spend more time directly interacting with children.

Effects of Screen Time on Young Children: Beneficial or Detrimental?
The document discusses the effects of screen time for young children and whether it is beneficial or detrimental to their development. While technology is ubiquitous in modern society, excessive screen time for young children under age 6 has been associated with cognitive delays, impaired learning, attention issues, and decreased self-regulation. However, moderate and supervised technology use, especially when paired with educational content or used to facilitate social connections, may provide some benefits. The challenges for parents are to understand both benefits and risks of technology use and help children develop a balanced lifestyle.

Internet safety tips for kids and teens
Technology has progressed so fast that life and technology are now intertwined. Kids are now introduced to technology as early as a year old or maybe even younger. Soon they will come to know about social media websites and it is the duty of their parents to teach them about privacy, security, and what information to show on the internet.
2020 Screen deaddiction
Screen addiction can negatively impact mental and physical health, especially for children and teens. Excessive screen time is associated with issues like poor sleep, attention problems, depression, and unhealthy behaviors. While screens themselves are not inherently bad, certain design features can make technology addictive by exploiting human vulnerabilities and psychological needs. It is important to set limits on screen time, especially social media, and balance online activities with real-world social interaction. Recognizing potential issues and developing strategies to manage screen use can help promote digital well-being.
Negative Effects of Technology on Young Children
The document discusses the negative effects of technology on young children's development. It notes that technology use is rising among young kids, with 90% of parents of children under 2 reporting media use by 2006. Excessive technology use can lead to communication deficits as kids spend less time interacting with others. It may also prevent children from forming normal social relationships and learning how to be alone. If used to constantly pacify kids, technology can render them unable to self-soothe or experience solitude. The overuse of engaging screens also risks developing addiction-like behaviors in young children. As technology becomes more prevalent in kids' lives, its effects must be carefully considered.

In a matter of seconds, most children can mimic a movie or TV character,
sing an advertising jingle, or give other examples of what they have learned from media. Sadly, these examples may include naming a popular brand of beer, eating junk, obsessive-compulsive buying, striking a “sexy” pose, or play fighting. Children only have to put a movie into the VCR, open a magazine, click on a Web site, or watch TV to experience all kinds of messages. It really is that easy.
Media offer entertainment, culture, news, sports, and education. They are an important part of our lives and have much to teach. But some of what they teach may not be what we want children to learn.
This lecture gives an overview of some of the messages media send young people that could be negative or harmful to their health. You will learn how you can teach your children to better understand the media messages they see and hear in print, over airwaves, on networks, or on-line and how to deal with it.
Cell Phone Addiction
This document discusses cell phone addiction, particularly among younger groups like students and teens. It notes common symptoms of cell phone addiction like anxiety when not using the phone, loss of sleep from excessive phone use, and poor performance in school. Studies cited found college students average 9 hours per day on their phones, and 60% admit they may be addicted. The document recommends limiting phone use by turning it off or having a friend hold it to reduce addiction symptoms.
The smartphone addiction
The document discusses smartphone addiction, its symptoms, and potential solutions. Smartphone addiction is real, with statistics showing that people frequently use their phones during activities like showering or driving. Symptoms of addiction include constantly checking the phone, feeling anxious without it, and talking on the phone more than to actual people. Suggested solutions are to acknowledge the addiction, avoid phone use while driving or in the bathroom, stop using the phone right before bed, and try leaving it at home sometimes.
Digital addiction
This document discusses digital addiction and the negative impacts of excessive technology usage. It notes that the average person spends 8 hours per day staring at screens. While technology provides benefits and can promote success, overuse has been linked to mental and physical health issues like poor sleep. The document recommends using technology in moderation to enjoy immediate surroundings without distraction. Limiting screen time has been shown to improve sleep patterns and provide more energy. This allows people to spend additional time on other activities and pursue a healthier lifestyle.

Mobile Phone Addiction
This document discusses addiction to smartphones and its consequences. It notes that the average person looks at their phone 150 times a day. People rely heavily on phones for communication, entertainment, and distraction. 60% of university students say they are addicted to their phones, with females spending 600 minutes and males spending 459 minutes per day on their phones. Addiction to smartphones can cause nomophobia, lack of attention, low self-esteem, poor academic achievement, and motor vehicle accidents. Over half of mobile phone users feel anxious when separated from their phones. The document encourages taking a step back from screens to experience the real world.
Internet Safety Elementary
This document outlines 10 rules for elementary school children to follow for internet safety. The rules instruct children to not give out any personal information online, tell their parents if they see anything that makes them uncomfortable, never agree to meet someone they chat with online, not send pictures or personal information to strangers, avoid mean or uncomfortable messages, discuss online safety rules with parents, keep their passwords private, get parental permission before downloading anything, avoid pop-up ads, be respectful of others online, and help their parents understand technology.
Effective parenting
Effective parenting requires effort to better a child's life. Different parenting styles like permissive, authoritarian, and attachment parenting are discussed. The key aspects of effective parenting are maintaining a positive mood, encouraging a child's passions, teaching basics, and accepting them unconditionally. Special thanks are given to child psychologists who helped inform this discussion on parenting.
Positive parenting tips 1
This is a presentation to guide parents on positive parenting tips. Parenting is a art that can be perfected.
Parenting Our Adolescent Child
This is a talk given to third year parents of La Salle Academy, Iligan City, Philippines on October 3, 2009 during their Parent-Child Dialogue Level Day.
Gadget addiction breaking kids' back
Children as young as three are experiencing aches and pains due to excessive use of gadgets like tablets, phones and handheld games. Doctors are seeing an increase in musculoskeletal problems in children's backs and necks from spending hours hunched over screens. Excessive gadget use is also negatively impacting children's grades, communication skills, and social development as they interact less with family and spend more time in isolated online worlds. Parents are encouraged to limit screen time and provide outdoor activities and pets instead of technology to support children's healthy development.
Negative impacts of social media
Social media and digital technologies can negatively impact students' education in several ways: (1) They are distracting and cause students to multitask while studying, reducing academic performance; (2) Students waste too much time on social media and rush through homework instead of focusing; (3) Overuse reduces students' real-life communication skills. Excessive use of digital devices and social media can also lead to health issues from lack of physical activity, poor eating and sleeping habits, addiction and distraction from studying, and declining writing and language skills as students rely more on spellcheck than their own abilities.
Kids and Mobile Phones
The document discusses children's use of cell phones. It notes that 72% of Canadians now use cell phones, and 87% of children aged 4-16 own or have access to a mobile phone. The average age for a child to get their first phone is 8. While cell phones can help children contact emergency services, there are also risks like bullying, cheating, and potential long-term health effects from overuse. Most parents believe schools should teach phone and internet safety.
Impact of Media on Children
The document discusses the impact of media on children. It notes that children are exposed to a lot of information from technology and media without much guidance from parents. It outlines some of the negative impacts media can have, including materialism, obesity, violence and aggression, early sexual behavior, and substance use. It also discusses risks of social media and cyber technology like sexting and interacting with strangers online. Protective factors mentioned include parents watching media with children and discussing the content.
Negative Effects Of Technology On Children
The document discusses the types of technology children use, including computers, cell phones, and video game consoles. It then describes three negative effects technology can have on children's writing skills, social skills, and ability to focus in class. While technology may help writing through features like spellcheck, it prevents children from learning from their mistakes.
Positive parenting
This document provides guidance on positive parenting techniques to improve parenting skills and reduce stress. It emphasizes that parents should model good behavior, clearly communicate rules and expectations, and consistently use praise and logical consequences to encourage positive choices and build a strong parent-child relationship. The key is for parents to remain calm and assertive while holding children accountable for their behavior.
Clicking kids and screens
Children and teens are spending significant time with screens each day, averaging around 4 hours for 3-5 year olds, 6 hours for 8-12 year olds, and 9 hours for 13-18 year olds. Screens can provide educational benefits when used properly, such as improving literacy and attention, but excessive unstructured use is linked to negative effects including poor sleep, obesity, behavioral issues, and possibly autism symptoms or addiction for some. Parents need to lead by example with their own screen use, set clear guidelines for children around screen time and content, and promote family screen-free times and open communication.
Sleep & Health for you & your children : Dr Sharda Jain
Sleep is important for overall health and well-being. The circadian rhythm regulates physical and mental changes over a 24-hour cycle, influenced by light and darkness. Youth need more sleep than adults to support development, learning, and health. Insufficient sleep among students is common and linked to poor academic performance and health issues like obesity. Experts recommend later school start times, digital detox before bed, sleep education, and consistent sleep schedules to help youth obtain adequate, quality sleep.

Pretend you have been asked by the president of the united statesto .pdf
Pretend you have been asked by the president of the united statesto chair a special task force that
is to write a national policy statement on children\'s exposure to television. What
recommendations would you make concerning viewing hours and type of shows to be aired?
Relating television back to cognitive development, give two examples of how young children
might misunderstand plots of television shows or claims made on advertisements.
Solution
individuals suffering from social isolation can employ television to create what is termed a
parasocial or faux relationship with characters from their favorite television shows and movies as
a way of deflecting feelings of loneliness and social deprivation.Just as an individual would
spend time with a real person sharing opinions and thoughts, pseudo-relationships are formed
with TV characters by becoming personally invested in their lives as if they were a close friend
so that the individual can satiate the human desire to form meaningful relationships and establish
themselves in society. The pleasurable effects of television may be likened to an addictive
activity, producing \"momentary pleasure but long-term misery and regret.\"When a person plays
video games or watches TV, the basal ganglia portion of the brain becomes very active and
dopamine is released.Release of high amounts of dopamine reduces the amount of the
neurotransmitter available for control of movement, perception of pain and pleasure and
formation of feelings.Watching television starting at a young age can profoundly effect
children\'s development. These effects include obesity, language delays, and learning disabilities.
Physical inactivity while viewing TV reduces necessary exercise and leads to over-eating.
Language delays occurs when a child doesn\'t interact with others. Children learn language best
from live interaction with parents or other individuals. Resulting learning disabilities from over-
watching TV include ADHD, concentration problems and even reduction of IQ. Children who
watch too much television can thus have difficulties starting school because they aren\'t
interested in their teachers. Children should watch a maximum of 2 hours daily if any television.
At the same time, television can help young people discover where they fit into society, develop
closer relationships with peers and family, and teach them to understand complex social aspects
of communication.
Recommendations are:
Give a specific time,ie, like 2 hours/day for television watching and engage them in oter leisures
such as sports,arts,etc.The type of shows must be informative,such as about new
hobbies,improvements in science and technology and new discoveries or about great
people.Never go for anything like dating shows or something explicit children..
Media effects on_the_brain
- Media, especially television, can negatively impact brain development in young children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no TV for children under 2 and limiting screen time for older children.
- Excessive media use hinders social development and exploration, while moderate use that incorporates social interaction is less harmful.
- Research links heavy television watching to increased risks of ADHD, Alzheimer's, autism, sleep issues, cancer, and obesity, especially when it replaces interactive activities.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Child Health in Early Adolescence
The study examined the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, and health problems in early adolescence. Over 90% of adolescents had experienced at least one ACE. Exposure to multiple ACEs was strongly associated with poor health, illness, and somatic concerns. Recent ACE exposure had the strongest links to poor adolescent health outcomes. The findings suggest that reducing ACEs could improve adolescent and lifelong health.
DR JON GOLDIN - THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE MENTAL HEALTH O...
The Internet and social media now impact almost every aspect of people’s lives and have altered social interactions and ways of being. Many young people use the Internet and social media in a way that is detrimental to their mental health, with the potential of developing symptoms traditionally associated with addiction. Despite this desperation to use the Internet and social media, a recent study showed that the more time young people spend on social media, the less happy they feel about everything except their friendships. More speci cally, they felt less happy about school and school work, their appearance, their family, and life in general. It appears that girls are more a ected than boys. It is important however that we don’t blame the medium but the message. There are positive messages out there on social media, which can help young people with mental health di culties but also some very harmful messages and practices can be found online too. This talk will explore ‘The risks and bene ts of social media on the mental health of adolescents’.

Media powerpoint
The document discusses how media influences people's thoughts and behaviors. It can stimulate the brain and cause hormonal changes depending on what people view. Studies show that excessive media consumption is linked to lower cognitive functioning in adolescents and can hinder brain development in children. While media brings creativity and connectivity, too much exposure can negatively impact reading skills, attention, behavior, and increase risk of addiction or violence. Moderation is key to balancing media's impacts.

TV viewing can reduce parent-child interaction, which is important for children's development. A study found that mothers talked and interacted much more with their children during book reading and toy play than during TV watching. TV watching suppressed both the quantity and quality of communication between mothers and children. In contrast, book reading and toy play encouraged more communication. Due to these effects on parent-child interaction, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 2 years old should not watch TV.

Research paper pp
Social media use among adolescents has risen dramatically in recent years. While social media allows for easier communication globally, research shows it can negatively impact adolescent mental health and relationships. Studies have linked increased time on platforms like Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram to higher rates of depression, anxiety, poor body image and loneliness. However, social media also provides benefits like a sense of connection. More research is still needed on how specific platforms and amount of use impact adolescent well-being.
