Less screen time and more play time is extremely important for healthy child development.
Playing with others helps children understand relationships, language, roles and social structure.
Play is proven to help develop children’s working memory and improve their ability to achieve at school and beyond.
Children who have had plenty of unscheduled, non-screen time for play throughout their early years are more likely to arrive at school with their natural and interest for learning intact.
Children are more resilient, more physically healthy, have stronger bodies, and spend less time at the Dr with less screen time and more play time.
