Why “Screen Time” is the wrong goal for our kids

🔥

I just read a powerful piece in Psychology Today that changes the game for parents and grandparents.

The big takeaway? Counting minutes of screen time is an outdated strategy. The American Academy of Pediatrics says we need to stop fixating on the "timer" and start focusing on the Digital Ecosystem. In a world where 90% of content will soon be AI-generated, our kids don’t need more "bans", they need Media Literacy.

They need to know how to spot a deepfake, how to question an algorithm, and how to navigate the web ethically.

At Connected Through Play, we believe the best way to prepare children for a complex future is through connection and active engagement, not just passive consumption.

If you want to move past the "screen time struggle" and discover how to raise curious, critical thinkers through the power of play and connection, come join us!
