In her words:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;This resource may be more aptly titled \u201c<\/em>Smart Things I Wish I Had Known, Done and Said About Screen Time\u201d<em> as much of it reflects my own experience as a parent in <\/em><em>the screen time trenches with my now-adult stepdaughters.

These<br \/>\nnumbers don\u2019t count time using screens for schoolwork or homework. (Common Sense Media,<br \/>\n2019)<\/li>\n<li>Two University of Ottawa studies have consistently found the best mental health and cognitive<br \/>\noutcomes in teens who do one hour of physical activity each day, sleep 8 to 10 hours a day and use<br \/>\nscreens recreationally less than two hours a day.
