June Highlight-Alternative to Screens

Early Brain Development & Screen Time
Did you know?

90% of brain development happens between ages 0–3.

Students with engaged parents are 81% more likely to graduate high school.

Early interaction like talking, playing, and exploring lays the foundation for lifelong learning.
Engaging with your child now makes a lasting impact!

But today’s screens can get in the way:
-Nearly half of children under age 8 have their own device.
-On average, they spend 2.25 hours per day on screens.
– More than 2–4 hours/day of screen time has been linked to delays in language, motor skills, social development, and problem-solving.
