Although screens are very important in our lives, we all need to set a limit, especially children. This book helps children and families take the first step to limit the time they spend in front of screens, allowing them to make the most of both their screen time and their screen-free time. While screens can be very useful and fun, they are not meant to be used all the time. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends setting limits on the amount of time children spend in front of screens, and adults should take the necessary actions to ensure that children are safe while online. With simple and clear suggestions and advice, children will learn valuable information about their safety, adopt healthy limits regarding the time they spend on screens, and understand how important screen-free time is.
With the well-known combination of empathy and encouragement, the author suggests healthy and engaging alternatives that one can apply instead of spending time in front of a screen, as well as ways to stay happy and safe when online.
The lively and pleasant illustrations help in understanding the text.
At the end of the book, there is information about the consequences of irresponsible screen use and suggestions for setting limits.
