Screen Time Management

Screen Time Management refers to the practice of monitoring and regulating the amount of time individuals, particularly children and adolescents, spend engaging with screens, such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions. The goal of screen time management is to ensure a balanced approach to technology use, promoting healthy habits and preventing the potential negative effects of excessive screen time, such as eye strain, disrupted sleep, reduced physical activity, and social isolation.

This practice often involves setting limits on daily usage, encouraging breaks from screens, and fostering alternative activities that enhance well-being, such as outdoor play, reading, or face-to-face social interactions. Parents and guardians may employ various tools and applications designed to track, limit, and manage screen time for their children, aiming to cultivate a more mindful and healthy relationship with technology as part of overall lifestyle choices.
