Your screen habits can influence your child's🤳

🧠Children learn by watching the people around them, and their brains are like little sponges. That means they're often picking up on our screen habits too.

It's not about being perfect or never checking your phone.
👉️ Instead, it's about being mindful of how and when we use screens around our children.

Putting your phone down during playtime, conversations or family moments can help children feel seen, heard and connected. Those shared interactions are incredibly important for their development and emotional wellbeing.

Not sure of what support is available for adults?
Take a look at www.internetmatters.org for lots of tips and tricks to help set you up for success.

Ever found yourself saying, "Just five more minutes?" You're not alone!

Experts say the internet is designed to keep us coming back for more, with things like notifications, autoplay and endless scrolling making it harder to switch off. That's why taking regular screen breaks is so important.

Screen breaks can help us notice when we're feeling tired, stressed or simply ready for a change of activity. They also create space for other things that support our wellbeing, like moving our bodies, spending time with family and friends, reading, playing or getting outdoors.

✨️ The good news?✨️
A screen break doesn't have to be anything big. Even a few minutes away from a device can help reset your mind and create a healthier balance between online and offline life.

👉️ Do you have children that are in primary school? The following video by BBC Bitesize can help explain to them the importance of balancing screentime - www.bbc.co.uk/teach/articles/zhyr6rd
