It’s important to maintain a balance between screen time and physical activity to ensure your teen is in the best physical and mental health they can be.

The mental effects of too much screen time include everything from social isolation, mood swings and poor concentration to memory impairment, risk-taking behaviour and an increase in ‘sick days’ and truancy. Teens can also be exposed to potentially harmful material and build unhealthy psychological habits that can continue into their adult lives. Click on the link below for more information.
