Today Andrew and Caroline talk about this important topic about how much screen time should kids get.

Screens have become a large part of our everyday life.  Although there are recommended guidelines for screen use, most kids get fare more access than they should. And its only gotten worse since COVID.

Unfortunately, screens affect kids’ cognitive, social, and emotional development, as well as their physical and mental health. It affects sleep, memory and learning, mood, anxiety, and behaviour.
