  • Screen time and your children - the pros and cons

    Last month, @telethonkidsinstitute released a study highlighting the impact of screen time on young children.

    Screen time can be a confusing debate. How much is too much? What shows are appropriate or not? What is the impact of screen time? Are there better choices?

    To support your insight into this matter, I have arranged a very special Wine with Wita panel.

    The amazing panel includes:

    • 2 Speech Pathologist, Julie @talkhqspeech and myself @rs.speechpathology
    • 2 Occupational therapists Sarah @bambinihealth, Maria @moveplaygrow_ot
    • Dr Mary Brushe, from @telethonkidsinstitute who lead the research study

      • and

      • A childcare educator Carla @decorati_kids_

        • I was incredibly honoured and thrilled to have such an enriching and insightful conversation with remarkable women in the paediatric industry.
