SouthCoast Health on How to Balance Screen Time

Children are using technology more and more each year. While these devices offer educational content and entertainment, excessive use can lead to chronic negative side effects on their developing bodies and minds.

SouthCoast Health experts weigh in here with tips on how to balance screen time and American Academy of Pediatrics media use recommendations by age.

“Technology has transformed the way we live, and this impact is especially evident in how children grow and interact with the world,” SouthCoast Health Pediatrician, Dr. William Webb explained. “While some apps are excellent tools for educating our children in ways that we cannot, there’s also a downside. The distraction from devices can hinder children’s learning and development compared to past generations.”

Learn more here.

If you have additional questions or concerns about how technology is affecting your child, give us a call at 912-691-3600 or visit SouthCoast Health online to schedule an appointment to meet with a member of SouthCoast pediatrics team.
