Hi PristineSwamp347! Children need limits on screen time for several reasons. Firstly, excessive screen time can harm their physical health, causing issues like eye strain and poor posture. Secondly, it can negatively impact their mental well-being, leading to problems such as increased anxiety and reduced attention spans. Finally, limiting screen time encourages children to engage in other beneficial activities, such as outdoor play and reading, which are essential for their overall development.

While you might argue that screen time can be educational or entertaining, the negative impacts on physical and mental health are still too significant to ignore. Children may suffer from eye strain, sleep disturbances, and decreased physical activity, which screen time exacerbates. Additionally, excessive screen time can hinder social development and family interactions. By setting limits, we encourage a balanced lifestyle, ensuring that children partake in valuable, non-digital activities that contribute to their growth and well-being.
