To begin with, in the second term of the scholar year, we have studied the impact of screens on children. Indeed, through the years, children are more and more impacted by screens' time. With this situation, children are, obviously, impacted the most. This impressive growth of the use of screens has consequences on kids' life. It goes without saying that, by using screens, the child is developing more slowly than kids who don't use screens. They can develop illness, mental problems, growth difficulties... Also, children can have problems of isolation, aggressivity, sadness and can develop insecurity problems that can lead to a risk of non-acceptation of itself.
However, with a correct use of screens, kids can have a more pedagogical approach of screens and can learn through screens thanks to educational games that can be found on tablets, phones... Moreover, there is no denying that people can show to their children the consequences of too much screen times and can let them have a correct amount of time to play educational games for example.
Screen times is not obligatory a bad thing for kids but it is necessary to show them a good use of it and to know the limits of it.
Nevertheless, i think that the parents must show children the good example. Also, teachers have their responsibilities but are not there to educate children about that. From my point of view, they must continue what children learnt from their parents and explain to them the bad effects of screens and that it can be used with a correct use. Furthermore, they must show them that screens can be used for good reasons and can develop a more playful way of learning. Screens could be loved by kids because it proposes interactive activities.
To cut a long story short, screens are seen to be developped again and again. On the one hand, its development can be beneficial for kids because they need to evolve with it but on the other hand, its use has to be with limits, not to educate kids with dependance since the first age.
