Why Screen-Free is Better
- Face-to-face connection: Promotes empathy, bonding, and real conversation.
- Focus: The constant flashing lights and rapid scene changes of screens can overstimulate a child's brain.
- Health: Reduces eye strain, fatigue, and hyperactivity from screen exposure.
- Independent Thinking: When children are not being dictated to by an external source, it gives them the freedom to develop a unique sense of self.
- Creativity: Screen-free play is open-ended, allowing children to invent their own rules, strategies, and stories.
Interact - Think - Focus
