‘It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me’

I love Taylor Swift & she’s taking the UK by storm & my daughter is going to see her in August in Poland as she couldn’t get UK tickets

As coincidence would have it I was actually listening to ‘Anti Hero’ on Spotify when I read this new report ‼️😳

‘Parents are key when it comes to limiting screen time for kids, study finds.’

The study looked at data from more than 10,000 12- and 13-year-olds and their parents, who were asked about their screen-use habits, including texting, social media, video chatting, watching videos and browsing the internet.

The researchers also asked whether their screen use was problematic — for example, whether kids wanted to quit using screens but felt they couldn’t or whether their screen habits interfered with school work or daily life.

One key finding that jumped out at me:

One of the biggest predictors of how much time kids spend on screens — and whether that use is problematic — is how much parents themselves use their screens when they are around their kids.

Not rocket science I know but certainly a little ‘pause to ponder! moment for us all?📱
