Screens can often cause overstimulation of the brain. I have also noticed sometimes it makes teens angry when they get their screen taken away. Let's get the kids back outside again.

Laura Burgess 4/03/2023 11:24 AMBeing able to leave work at work, is very important. Spending time with my family refreshes me. Not thinking about work while I am with my family, allow me to enjoy my time with them. It allows me to focus better at work, knowing that at the end of the day, I will see my family. -
