Phone Screen Time By: Jonathan Fisher



Phone Screen Time

By: Jonathan Fisher

Problem:

Kids are spending too much time on screens and it’s having drastic effects on them and the generation as a whole. There have been some effective resolutions that have been put in place to restrict screen time. One is parental control apps or family time which limits screen times and controls content. Another effective resolution that's being brought into place is bringing more awareness and a conscience mind to parents to predominately let their kids promote creation, collaboration, or appropriate communication under supervision. These are two resolutions for the problem kids face with screen time on their mobile devices.

Questions for Solutions:


Because screen time affects the growth of kids cognition, would limiting and restricting the daily or weekly screen time kids get be beneficial for them?


Research shows teens in absence of cell phones experience at least one of the three: loneliness, upset, or anxiety. How would incorporating more physical activities daily benefit the kid?


Should parents have some type of technical class or lessons on handling the issue better?

    Gained from background knowledge, teens spend around 4 hours on their phones. This is a huge chunk of the day that can be spent doing more productive things. -Ashley Herman

    I think that the parents don't need any type of lessons just to teach their kids how to not be on their phones, they should just know how to control them

    I disagree with the parents having lessons to tech their kid how much time to be on their phone however its up to the parents to control how much time their child have on their phones

    I say that as long as the kid does other activities that their parents will notice, then the parents won't need any classes about this problem. -Jeffrey

    I think that limiting the time kids are using electronics is very important. Being on a device all the time limits their interaction with family, friends, or even kids of their age. It limits them to staying on their device and wanting it constantly, it definitely would limit their growth as a child because theyre not outside doing child like things. If their time was limited, their brains and their bodies would develop at a faster and better rate.

    It's not healthy if you use it too much because they're too much blue light going in your eyes

    We are spending way to much time on phones and need to pay attention for better academic success in classes

    These kids really do need to be controlled when it comes to screentime and what they do on their devices. Davep

    keeping your cell phone on at night can keep you from falling asleep and take a toll on your body and your brain

    I think phones are bad for the development of young kids. Parents should be warned about screen time and we should all learn digital literacy since it's important that everyone knows how to properly handle their phone time.

    I feel like the world is in a negative place right now and with social media being the way it is now isn't good for the kids.
