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
