Children learn boundaries and safety when using screens, and fun
things to do when screens are off.
As important as screens are in our lives, we all need to unplug,
especially children. This reassuring English-Spanish bilingual picture
book offers children and families a starting point for limiting screen
time and making the most of the time you have with your screens and
without.
While screens are needed for learning and can be helpful and fun, they
are not intended for use all the time. The American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends consistent limits on screen time for children, and
adults should take steps to ensure online safety for kids. With
straightforward suggestions, children will learn valuable information
about online safety, setting healthy screen-time boundaries, and the
importance of screen-free time.
With her trademark mix of empathy and encouragement, author Elizabeth
Verdick offers appealing and healthy alternatives to using screens, as
well as ways to stay safe and happy when online. Illustrator Marieka
Heinlen's active and vibrant illustrations of young children interacting
with their caregivers and families bring the activities and suggestions
for screen-free fun to life.
A section for adults at the end of the book in both English and
Spanish includes information on the effects of too much screen time
and suggestions for establishing screen-time boundaries.
