Experts are recommending the best ways to use technology children may have received during the holiday season.
A recent study by the National Library of Medicine found that while devices are helpful for learning with electronic books and learning-to-read applications, screen time can impact child development. Excessive screen time can cause sleep disorders and mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
Students are already entering the new year with a device limit in public schools. The South Carolina Department of Education is requiring all public schools to be cellphone free during the day. The effort was signed by Governor Henry McMaster in order to remove distraction and improve student performance.
