Technology Safe Use

There is a time for everything

Parents and children spend several hours a day in front of screens where young people break the records. Activities & sports on the couch do not replace outdoor activities.

Children and teenagers, who spend more than an hour on their smart phones, lose in joy, curiosity and ability to learn which leads them to enter a grey area.

Children who are overexposed to screens are more likely to suffer from delayed language than others. Added to this is the increase in sedentary behaviors, sleep disturbances and interaction with adults around them, whether in the classroom or at home.
