Screen Time Balance


In a time of social distancing, the screen has become our portal to the outside world, however, screen time is an outdated concept and has been raised a long time ago.

What is screen time?

Screen time is the amount of time that someone spends using a device or computer, watching television, or playing on a game console.

“Parents should focus on “Quality over Quantity” of screen time their kids spend on it.

Parents needs to focus on:

  • context (where, when, and how digital media are accessed),
  • content (what is being watched or used) and
  • connections (whether and how relationships are facilitated or impeded.”
