Hi, I'm Rebecca and this is Shelly Car.
- 00:03 - 00:05
We're gonna be talking about the effects that
- 00:05 - 00:07
screen time has had on Children during the
- 00:07 - 00:12
covid pandemic and the impacts it has on Children on a day to day basis.
- 00:12 - 00:16
I'm going to talk myself about the effects that screen time has had on Children
- 00:16 - 00:20
during the covid pandemic and discuss the key areas that I have come up.
- 00:21 - 00:24
More Children are earning their own digital devices
- 00:24 - 00:26
as they have easy access to Internet.
- 00:26 - 00:30
It's all around them wherever they go, and there is free public WiFi.
- 00:30 - 00:33
In most places, you just need your own digital device.
- 00:34 - 00:39
Parents are giving and buying Children their own devices at such a young age as well.
- 00:40 - 00:42
The time Children are spending in front of their
- 00:42 - 00:45
digital devices has rapidly increased over the years.
- 00:45 - 00:50
The past few years has been difficult for most people. Due to the covid pandemic.
- 00:51 - 00:55
Adults and Children have both either been working from
- 00:55 - 00:57
home or doing school from their own lounge room,
- 00:57 - 01:01
which means the parents have been the Children's teachers.
- 01:01 - 01:04
Children are spending more time on their digital devices,
- 01:04 - 01:07
and it has been hard on the parents.
- 01:07 - 01:09
Parents may have not been supervising them
- 01:09 - 01:12
appropriately and just been allowing them,
- 01:12 - 01:16
or more and more digital devices accessing screen time for a longer amount
- 01:16 - 01:19
of time as they are trying to do their own work from home.
- 01:19 - 01:21
They may have been an only parent,
- 01:21 - 01:25
and it could have possibly been the only thing to make their Children happy.
- 01:25 - 01:26
As all Children
- 01:26 - 01:27
screen time,
- 01:28 - 01:31
my last key area is Children are growing up
- 01:31 - 01:33
with digital devices and media all around them,
- 01:33 - 01:36
the most popular generation who are owning
- 01:36 - 01:38
digital devices and being on screen time.
- 01:38 - 01:41
Majority of the time is the older generations.
- 01:41 - 01:44
Everyone has a phone in the TV,
- 01:44 - 01:47
and everyone pretty much has their own laptop or tablet.
- 01:47 - 01:51
Children are being brought into this world and seeing their family members
- 01:51 - 01:55
and their parents spending most of their time on their digital devices.
- 01:55 - 01:57
This is not teaching the Children.
- 01:57 - 02:01
This is showing them that it is okay to be on the device all the time,
- 02:01 - 02:05
and we need to role model and show the Children what the correct things to do.
- 02:05 - 02:08
And if limiting screen time for the adults is something we could do,
- 02:08 - 02:12
I definitely think it would be worth while to help and support your Children.
- 02:13 - 02:15
Thanks, Rebecca. Hi, everybody.
- 02:15 - 02:17
I'm sure Aleka, I'm gonna from here on,
- 02:17 - 02:22
I'm going to discuss about screen time effects on Children day to day basis.
- 02:22 - 02:24
I'm focusing on three
- 02:24 - 02:26
main areas.
- 02:26 - 02:29
The first one is mental and health will be.
- 02:29 - 02:30
So
- 02:31 - 02:32
during my research,
- 02:32 - 02:36
I have found that screen time has affect Children in many ways.
- 02:36 - 02:37
Some problems that are
- 02:40 - 02:47
that I have seen obesity problems present symptoms such as anxiety.
- 02:48 - 02:51
My second point is child development.
- 02:51 - 02:55
Springtime affect, uh, two main areas that, uh,
- 02:55 - 02:59
child cognitive cognitive development and social emotional development.
- 03:01 - 03:05
Spring can cause high demand official input to their child brain.
- 03:05 - 03:06
When they're looking at the screen,
- 03:06 - 03:09
they take a lot of visual information for their brain.
- 03:09 - 03:12
Once you take away screen, they're cognitive.
- 03:12 - 03:16
They will slow down and can't focus tasks right away.
- 03:16 - 03:20
It will impact their literacy skills and imaginary.
- 03:21 - 03:24
My last point is impact on family relationships.
- 03:24 - 03:26
Children learn from the environment.
- 03:26 - 03:29
They learn from having language, eye contact, looking at face,
- 03:29 - 03:30
having back and forth.
- 03:30 - 03:32
They don't learn from Spain. If
- 03:32 - 03:33
what I'm trying to say.
- 03:33 - 03:36
If Charles stay a long time on screen child will addict
- 03:36 - 03:40
to the screen and increase low attachment to their parents.
- 03:41 - 03:45
These were the key areas that we came up with during our research together
- 03:46 - 03:48
to minimise the screen time,
- 03:48 - 03:50
set the realistic boundaries with your families
- 03:50 - 03:53
and create environment to balance the things.
- 03:54 - 03:55
Thank you for listening.
