Have you ever stopped to think about how many devices you have? Or guessed how many you look at each day?

You might have a phone or a tablet or computer at home. There might also be a TV in your house. When you go to school you may be looking at SMART boards, tablets or other screens too. Already that’s quite a lot!

Keep It Balanced

It’s hard not to look at screens because they are everywhere. And they can be really fun and helpful.

But they can also distract you from other things. They can stop you getting exercise, make you snack on sugary foods or drinks, and at times even make you feel down.

It’s good to take a break from screens every so often. Try doing something different, like hanging out with friends, doing some exercise, or reading a book.

Try counting the number of screens you look at today (including this one!), and see if you think you’ve got too many in your life!
