Is Screen Time Making Your Child LESS Productive?

Description: In this blog article, we explore how Social Media and screen time can make your child less productive with their academics.

In this digital age, children are having lower attention spans than ever.


On average, a child/teenager can spend a shocking 4.5 hours a day on social media.


This can have a negative effect and lead to bad habits, such as:


  • A lack of interest in school/academics
  • Becoming bored easily
  • Procrastination and avoiding completing tasks on time
  • Lack of discipline
  • Low concentration span
  • Extensive hours in front of a screen (many parents struggle to control this)
  • Social Media links to issues such as: low self-esteem, depression and anxiety

How Can a Productivity Tutor Help?

Let’s simplify it all – we will help your child:


  • Create a realistic and practical schedule they can stick to
  • Help keep your child accountable and consistent
  • Advise on revision techniques catered to your child’s learning style
  • Set a timer on activities and aim to get tasks done
  • Set goals that we can make FUN to achieve
  • Learn how to be organised
  • Create efficiency by using Excel to track progress

Further examples of what we aim to help with are:


  • Decreasing screentime on social media by 10+ hours a week
  • Avoid playing video games straight after school
  • Completing 1 hour of reading/homework before more fun activities
  • Converting screentime to deep revision time instead

This service is 100% bespoke according to your child’s:


  • Specific goals
  • Learning style
  • Age
  • Involvement in other extracurricular activities
