Screens and family life
🔵 Wellness practice
Screens are part of modern life. The aim is balance, not a fight.
- Make a family agreement together: phone-free meals and bedtime, and screen-free time for talking or play.
- Adults go first. Children copy what they see.
- Talk about what children watch and who they talk to online. Invite them to tell you if something upsets them, without punishment.
- Offer attractive offline options: sport, hobbies, time outdoors.
When to seek help
If screen use leads to missed sleep, falling grades, withdrawal from family, or strong distress when stopping, speak to a doctor or counsellor.
