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.

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.

What’s on your list—and how will you make it count?

It’s Day 2 of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week at Adam Beck!

Our students are continuing to explore the importance of healthy screen time balance through meaningful discussions and fun, hands-on activities in class.

Did you know the first week of May is also Screen-Free Week? It’s the perfect time to unplug and reconnect with the world around us.

Need some inspiration? Check out our Screen-Free Bingo card—it’s packed with creative, family-friendly ideas to help you unplug and make the most of your time together.

How many squares can your family check off this week?

Let’s build healthy habits and support mental well-being—one screen-free moment at a time.

As we continue to explore the theme of delaying smartphones and creating healthy screen habits, books can be a great way to spark meaningful conversations at home.

Here are some book suggestions to read with your child:

- Bored and Brilliant by Manoush Zomorodi (adapted for younger readers)
- Unplugged by Steve Antony
- 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
- Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld & Dr. Gabor Maté

We hope these titles provide inspiration, insight, and opportunities for connection as we work together to support our children’s well-being in a digital world. ... See MoreSee Less
