Screen Time and Child Behaviour: What Parents Need to Know

Описание: Screens are everywhere — phones, tablets, TVs.
But unlike cigarettes or alcohol, screens come with no warning label.
Yet many parents today are noticing sudden behaviour changes: • Crying when the phone is taken away
Poor attention
Irritability
Loss of interest in play
Emotional withdrawal
Why is this happening?
What is screen time really doing to a child’s brain?
And most importantly — what can parents realistically do at home?
In this video, Dr. Indu Kiruba, Speech Therapist & Psychologist from Enliven Therapy Centre, explains: ✔️ How excessive screen exposure affects the developing brain
✔️ Why children struggle when screens are removed
✔️ How screen dependency quietly builds at home
✔️ The link between screens and social-emotional changes
✔️ Practical, doable steps for parents
No guilt.
No extreme rules.
Just simple, realistic guidance for today’s families.
If this video helps you, share it with another parent who might be struggling silently.
Because when parents understand — children transform.
