Be it for homework, studying, reading, or even gaming with your friends, children nowadays have been exposed to an endless amount of screentime. Be it on a phone, computer, tablet, or TV screens, it seems that parents all over the world are trying their best to both balance screen time as well as learning about the effects it can cause towards their children. 

Though there are vast amounts of benefits for utilizing your screen time, be them for educational, social, or in need for a break every now and then from the world. However, there have been plenty of studies that have shown that too much screen time can cause a shift in a person’s behavior. This can result in the inability to concentrate on certain tasks, increase in moodiness as well as irritability. 

It also poses a problem for your eyes as well. 

Oftentimes, having excessive screen time can cause your eyes to dry up or have digital eye strain. This can induce headaches, problems in the neck or back regions, and ever disrupt your sleeping patterns. This is due to the blue light that emits from the screen of these digital devices.
