Screentime and mealtimes…is it ok?
Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. There are always a lot of opinions when it comes to the use of screens with children and this could be a whole blog in itself, but for this blog I want to specifically focus on the use of screens (ipads, phones, TV’s) when a child is eating.
We live in a world where we have portable devices which allow us to access games, videos and TV wherever we might be. Whilst there are benefits of this, there are also times when it can cause some issues. We might remember the time when there was a lot of talk about ‘TV dinners’ and what impact these might be having on the family mealtime but also on our children…fast forward and we are now looking at the impact of screentime (specifically portable devices) on our children’s eating and mealtime experience.
