The results of access to screens for youth have shown a boom in mental health. Anxiety and depression are shown to have a negative effect on the youth.

As an Early Childhood teacher, I worry about young children growing up with screens in their hands. I believe that it often takes away the interactive, interpersonal, and socialization that the child is having. Using digital tools trains them

Parents use technology as a babysitter. There is an increase in health problems due to lack of exercise and active play… over stimulates the child.. less focus and attention span. From a retired teacher and principal. Hinders speech and language skills.

Students also have decreased fine motor skills.

There are good and bad things about technology. I am someone who grew up without any technology. I am an early childhood teacher, and I have seen how early children have a phone or iPad in their hands. They are glued and ultra-focused on technology almo
