Children don't need more screen time.
They need eye contact, messy play, boredom, movement, stories, fresh air, cuddles, arguments, laughter, risk, patience, connection and real life.
A screen can entertain a child.
But it cannot replace being truly seen, heard and known.
Many children are growing up surrounded by devices but starving for real connection. And we are seeing the impact every day - shorter attention spans, emotional struggles, sleep problems, weaker social skills and rising anxiety.
This is not about blame. Modern parenting is hard. Screens are everywhere. But this conversation matters.
