Helping Santa Barbara children establish healthy relationships with technology.
We are an informal coalition of pediatricians and mental health professionals working to support Santa Barbara children in establishing healthy relationships with screen-based technology.
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?
Kids
8-10 year olds spend about 6 hours a day in front of the screen. (CDC, 2018)
Teens
11-14 year olds spend nearly 9 hours a day in front of a screen. (CDC, 2018)
What’s the big deal?
Obesity • Anxiety • Insomnia • Depression • Pre-diabete s • Poor Academics • Attention Problems
These are just some of the issues associated with excessive screen time. Not surprisingly, these issues are all increasing among our children at an alarming rate.
