SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER, MANY CONSULTATIONS HAVE EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF SCREEN PREVENTION. NOT THAT IT WASN’T ALREADY THE CASE, AS SCREENS ARE OMNIPRESENT, BUT RATHER THAT THE SUBJECT IS POORLY UNDERSTOOD. CONTRARY TO EXPECTATIONS, IT MAY NOT BE OBVIOUS FOR PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE « WHY » AND « WHEN TO AVOID » REASONS. I WILL ADDRESS THE « WHY » IN ANOTHER ARTICLE; HERE, I WILL SIMPLY LIST THE « WHEN » TO AVOID:

1. NO SCREENS IN THE MORNING
2. NO SCREENS DURING MEALS
3. NO SCREENS BEFORE BEDTIME
4. NO SCREENS IN THE CHILD’S BEDROOM
5. NO SCREENS BEFORE THE AGE OF 3
