DIGITAL DEPENDENCY IN PRE-TEENS

Welcome to the CodeEarly Blog, In this issue, we want to talk about screen time for kids. We know that digital devices such as phones, tablets, and computers are a big part of our lives. We use them for everything from homework to games to talking to our friends. But did you know that excessive screen time can be a bad thing?

According to research, it shows that excessive internet use can cause negative impacts on mental health, including anxiety, depression, and social isolation. This is why it’s important to balance our screen time with other activities that are good for our minds and bodies.

So, how do you as kids in the 21st century spend productive time on digital devices to avoid health impacts? One way is to learn how to code. Coding is the language of the future, and it is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives.

There are many resources available online, such as Codeearly.com and Scratch, which can help kids learn to code and create their own games, apps, and websites.
