Upcoming Episode 119 - The Education Series - Emily Cherkin - Impacts of screentime on children
In this upcoming episode from "The Education Series" with screentime consultant, Emily Cherkin, Emily will talk about the impacts of screentime on children and how families can work cohesively to educate one another on a strategy that provides sufficient time for screens.
The context of the conversation comes from a sporting background, from Coach Luca as he looks to explore how screentime can negatively impact children's health, engagement, learning and psychological outputs. Luca continues to evolve the conversation from Emily's knowledge and experience of how children can become disengaged from activities i.e. sport including football and as to why children will drop out of sports clubs and programs, as they're more committed to their games consoles and screens rather than active participation.
Emily has presented to government panels about education within schools and communities, providing research and ongoing insights into the impact that screentime is having upon health, engagement, education and relationships.
Emily continues to discuss the use of screens and the modernisation of teaching with chromebooks and iPads etc and how teaching has changed and that the resources have become too easy to provide for children ahead of their educational needs. Emily discusses the need to tailor a relevant balance of screentime within the classroom, combined with educational outputs.
