Do Children Spend Too Much Time On Screens?

We can all agree that technology has gotten more advanced, but is it a good thing? Well, people have gotten less active and are spending more time on an iPad, phone or computer. However, the good side of technology is that you can call and face time friends and family. Leading doctors claim there is little medical advice for limiting screen time for kids.  According to Doctor Skott Leen, “kids spend 7 hours a day on  a screen, and 23 hours a week!” He goes onto say, “kids screen time should be limited to 45 minutes a day.”

A new study, by the American Academy of Pediatrics, examined whether excessive screen time during preschool years has an impact on a child’s development. Doctors’ research shows that children who spend more time on screens get poor grades and less sleep. What do you think, do kids spend too much time on screens?
