Children spend too much time on technology, like phones and ipads.
Technology can affect children’s attention span and their concentration.
It can slow down children’s ability to focus.
Reduces children’s ability to communicate.
Children in NYC are the most affected because if children are focused more on technology rather than exploring and observing, they won’t be able to focus and their attention span can be short.
Intervention is needed when parents notice that children’s academic notes start to decline.
When families notices that children aren’t social and just isolate themselves to be on technology.
This needs to be addressed now because if children continue to use technology excessively, children won’t develop healthily and they will be stuck in their later years.
Families can help change how much technology a child uses because they are all in the same home and know how to communicate with the child.
Parents could set times for screen time and when and where the child uses technology.
