Description
Many of us and our loved ones spend a lot of time in front of screens – whether that’s hand-held devices like phones or larger devices such as TVs or computers. While these advancements have led to great achievement, our brains have not evolved quick enough to mitigate the effects of screen time. Screen time has become a heavily investigated area of health research and early findings suggest that excessive screen time can interfere with brain development in children and lead to mood changes, sleeping problems, and much more. In this class, we will explore how screen time affects the brain, learn how much is too much screen time, and how we can minimize our screen time to promote better health.
