Children benefit from limits on screen time due to the high risk of detrimental effects on their physical and mental health. Excessive screen time can lead to problems such as obesity, sleep disorders, and decreased attention spans. Furthermore, screen addiction can impede social development and reduce time spent on physical activities and educational pursuits. By setting limits, we can foster a healthier lifestyle and promote balanced development, encouraging children to engage in diverse activities that contribute to their overall well-being and growth.

While it's true that screens can offer educational content and entertainment, the risks of overuse are significant. Unrestricted screen time can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to cognitive and behavioral issues. Moreover, excessive screen use often replaces essential physical activities and face-to-face interactions, which are crucial for holistic development. Setting limits doesn't mean eliminating screens altogether but ensuring children have a balanced life that promotes a healthy body and mind. By regulating screen time, we help kids develop time management skills and encourage a variety of enriching activities.
