What are the pros and cons of screen time for children?

Pros:

1. Access to educational content that can support cognitive skills, literacy, and even social learning.
2. Provides interactive experiences (like learning games and digital books) that can be engaging and instructional.
3. Keeps kids connected with family and friends, especially through video calls.

Cons:

1. Excessive screen time can lead to reduced physical activity, impacting physical health.
2. Potential for exposure to inappropriate content without parental supervision.
3. May lead to sleep disturbances if used right before bedtime due to blue light exposure.
