The first slide introduces the topic: "What 'too much screen time' can look like in behavior." It states that these signs are often unexpected and easy to miss, encouraging readers to swipe to learn more about child development and screen time effects.
The second slide explains why screen time matters, detailing how screens affect developing brains. It highlights dopamine spikes, the still-forming prefrontal cortex, and clarifies that behaviors are signals of a dysregulated nervous system, not character flaws.
The third slide describes Sign #1: Intense meltdowns when screens turn off. It explains this as a nervous system crash due to dopamine withdrawal and suggests giving a 5-minute warning and transitioning to active play.
5 Signs Your Child May Have Too Much Screen Time
It does not always look like glazed eyes in front of a tablet. Too much screen time in young children often shows up as behavior and it is easy to mistake for something else entirely. Here is what to watch for: 1. Intense meltdowns the moment screens turn off 2. Unable to tolerate boredom
