Let’s Talk About Screen Time  Did you know that too much screen time can make it harder to sleep well, concentrate in school, and even feel emotionally balanced?  This week during Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re encouraging families to talk together about how screen time affects our bodies and minds.  How does it feel when you’ve been on a screen for too long?  Do you feel tired, grumpy, or distracted?  Taking time to reflect as a family helps build awareness and encourages healthier habits.  Check out this tip sheet for healthier screen time—full of simple strategies to create more balance and mindfulness with technology.  https://healthprofessionalsforsaferscreens.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/%C2%A9Combined_Poster.pdf  #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #ScreenTimeBalance #AdamBeckSchool #HealthyHabits #FamilyWellBeing #CanadianSchools #MindfulTechUse

This week, as part of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re encouraging families to create a screen-free plan together.  What kinds of activities are on your list?  How does it feel to put the screens away and truly connect?  Whether it’s outdoor adventures, creative projects, board games, or simply enjoying time together without digital distractions, every small step helps build a more mindful and balanced relationship with technology.  Looking for something to do tonight? Go outside and play in the yard at Adam Beck!  How many school friends do you think you’ll see there?  Take some time this week to talk as a family and make your plan.  https://screenfree.org/project/screen-free-planning-writing-prompt/  What’s on your list—and how will you make it count?  #ScreenFreeWeek #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #UnplugTogether #AdamBeckSchool #MindfulTechUse #FamilyConnections #CanadianSchools #SeeYouInTheYard

- Goodnight iPad by Ann Droyd
- Screen Time is Not Forever by Elizabeth Verdick
- If You Give a Child a Smartphone by Dr. John Duffy
- Screens Away, Time to Play by Patty Brozo
- Dot. by Randi Zuckerberg
- You’re Missing It! by Brady and Eva Toon  And some helpful reads for parents and caregivers:  - The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt
- Glow Kids by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras
- Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
