Managing screen time

Welcome back to school and Happy New Year to everyone.

If you or your family were lucky enough to receive some tech for Christmas we thought the National Online Safety guide for managing screen might give you some tips.

99% of children will own a smartphone before they reach 18 and it can prove difficult for young people to set them aside.  As a gateway to messaging services, games, television, music and more, digital devices can become borderline indispensable items in a young person’s life.  Studies have shown, however, that managing a child’s screen time can have positive impacts on their cognitive development. The guide provides you with some simple but effective tips to help you bring your family’s screen time down to healthy level.
