Background
Having worked with children for over 15 years, I have witnessed firsthand the profound effects of excessive screen time on young minds. The constant exposure to screens isn't just an everyday concern—it's contributing to a crisis in childhood development. Dopamine addiction, cerebral cortex damage, digital dementia, impaired attention spans are only some of the potential threats posed by unrestricted screen use. Our children deserve a better safeguarded future.
