Spending too much time on screens can interfere with language development, critical thinking, and overall brain health. Experts suggest that excessive screen time might narrow a child's focus, limiting their opportunities for exploration and learning. It can also affect their reading skills, attention span, and even sleep, as screens used late at night can disrupt melatonin levels and delay bedtime.
Meet Michael Molina, a 2nd grader in Mrs. Fahres' class, who was chosen as the "Scientist of the Week"!
