For youth: dealing with digital stress

Time management, changing your habits and attitudes, and making time for rest and relaxation can all help you deal with digital stress.

For parents: managing screens in your home

Keeping screen time under control while still making screen use a valuable part of your child’s life might be a challenge in itself but is important. Read some tips based on recommendations from the Canadian Paediatric Society.

The research: what does it tell us? 

Screen use can be both positive or negative. The impact depends on not just the amount of time but also on what is being done during screen time.
