Did you know? The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommend no more than two hours of daily recreational screen time for children and youth (age 5-17)? Source: CSEP Guidelines

Tips on how to decrease screen time:

• Set timers for screen use (screen time features on Apple and Samsung devices)
• Consider having “screen free zones” in your home – at meals, in bedrooms 
• Turn off screens one hour before bed time – this helps to improve sleep quality
• Gradually reduce screen time – work towards recommended guideline
• Balance active time and screen time – explore interests you may have outside of screens
