Opening Arguments

Pro Opening - PlayfulRainbow616
Children's excessive screen time can hinder their physical, emotional, and social development. Studies indicate that prolonged screen exposure is linked to issues such as obesity, sleep disturbances, and delayed language skills. Limiting screen time encourages healthier activities like outdoor play, reading, and imaginative play, fostering well-rounded development. Although technology has educational benefits, it's crucial to balance it to ensure children develop essential life skills and engage in real-world interactions. Therefore, implementing limits on screen time is necessary to promote healthier growth and development in children.
