Is Screen Time For Kids Really That Bad?? My Thoughts.
This video has been sponsored by HIYA heyshayla.com/hiyaYT
We all know there is a lot of flack around screen time for our kids, I've learned a few things from experience and from interviewing pediatric speech therapists at www.weetalkers.com/ on Episode 40 of my podcast heyshayla.buzzsprout.com/1819031
1. Screen time often goes in seasons. Literal seasons like less time in the summer and more in the COLD winter (or opposite in warm climates), during the 1st trimester of a subsequent baby, during nap time with another child, etc. Go easy on yourself.
2. Screen time for kids not inherently BAD, it's more about what it's taking kids AWAY from aka physical activity.
3. Screen size matters in this case. TVs are better options than phones or tablets because of posture, and the control that the kids have over the device.
4. LOW STIMULATION kids shows: muted colors, calm sounds, slow scene changes etc. Get my a few recommendations by streaming service here: heyshayla.com/screentime
5. What are you going to do instead? This is where I struggled. When I turned the TV off I was like… sooooo what do you guys like to do? lol I learned to ALSO get things that I like to do with them. Here is my Amazon list of things I bought. heyshayla.com/toys
