@drranganchatterjee: These devices serve as powerful distractions. Instead of learning to manage discomfort or negative emotions, many children turn to screens for immediate distraction. This habit hampers their ability to be present and engage fully in their lives, ultimately affecting their relationships, happiness, and overall mental health. Everything valuable stems from being present, and by relying on technology to distract, we risk losing that essential skill. 'SWIPED: The School That Banned Smartphones" is available to watch now on Netflix #ChildDevelopment #MentalHealth #ScreenTime #Parenting #SleepHealth
