Secondhand Screen Time
So, do you live in a state of “continuous partial attention”?
Parent educator Joshua Straub suggests that being continually distracted by our devices creates a secondhand screen impact on our children. We allow our play, talk, and attention time to be interrupted and our kids suffer for it. The brains of babies might even be wired to expect interruption by this repeated process. So, Dr. Straub suggests you designate certain times to look at your screen and compartmentalize time where no phones are allowed. Aren’t your kids worth your undivided attention?
