Thoughtful Tuesday Post:
In October our District's Counseling Team is promoting Healthy Lifestyles. Watch for tips about how to help students create healthy habits. This week's post is about creating healthy boundaries with screen time. Too much screen time can have an impact on a student's health, as well as their ability to develop healthy relationships with their friends and family. It might shock you the average daily hours spent on screen time for students. These numbers are reported by the Center for Disease Control (CDC): 8-10 years olds: 6 hours, 11-14 years old: 9 hours, 15-18 year olds: 7.5 hours.
