KidsAbility Paediatric Therapy Clinic supports the motion brought forward by Hon. Pearlina McGaw-Lumsden, MP for George Town West, to explore limiting social media access for children under the age of 16.

We thank MP McGaw-Lumsden for raising this important issue in Parliament and for highlighting the growing evidence around how early and excessive social media exposure can impact children’s brain development, mental health, attention, sleep, and emotional wellbeing.

As clinicians working with children and families across the Cayman Islands, we see firsthand how digital environments are shaping childhood. This conversation is not about rejecting technology. It is about ensuring children’s developing brains are protected while they build the social, emotional, and cognitive skills they need to thrive.

We appreciate the strong parliamentary support for prioritizing the wellbeing of Cayman’s children and look forward to continuing to support families and educators with evidence-based guidance on healthy screen use.

🧠📱 Wired for Growth: How Screen Time Use Impacts Children’s Development

Our discussion covered:

• The science behind screen time and its developmental impact
• Alterations in neuroplasticity and cognition
• Developmental and functional outcomes
• Executive function and behavioural effects
• Current regulatory measures
• Practical recommendations for building healthy digital habits

Thank you to the parents, educators, and community members who joined us for this evidence-informed and thoughtful discussion. Supporting children’s developing brains in a digital world requires awareness, balance, and collaboration, and we are grateful to be part of that conversation with you.

✨ Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day ✨

A reminder that small moments can make a big difference.

A smile.
A kind word.
Holding the door.
Checking in on someone who may be struggling.

Kindness does not have to be loud or grand. Often, it is the quiet acts that matter most.

Today, and every day, let’s choose kindness for ourselves and for others 🤍
