Many parents often wonder how to limit screen time for children. In today\u2019s day and age, children are exposed to many different types of electronics with screens such as smartphones, TVs, computers, tablets, and more. Unfortunately, these devices are everywhere and are hard to avoid. Even so electronics these days can help when it comes to learning or even building a community, but it can also lessen one\u2019s sleep and even creativity.<\/p>\n

Pediatrician Michael Rich says it is not how much we use these electronics, but rather how we are using them and what happens to the brain while being used. The growing human brain is constantly building neural connections while getting rid of the ones that are less used. Digital media plays a large role in the way the brain builds these neural connections and much of what happens on the screen provides an \u201cimpoverished\u201d stimulation of the developing brain. <\/p>\n

According to Rich, \u201d boredom is the space in which creativity and imagination happen.\u201d Unfortunately, in today\u2019s day and age when boredom sets in many children turn to electronics rather than using their own imagination. Further, multiple studies have shown that using a smartphone or any electronic emitting blue light can affect one\u2019s sleep pattern. This is because it suppresses melatonin, the sleep hormone. Without a good night\u2019s sleep, children\u2019s brains can\u2019t develop properly. <\/p>
