Teachers say children can’t hold pencils, tie shoes, or use scissors — Experts say screen time is to blame.

Children today are struggling with basic fine motor skills, and experts believe increased screen time is a major culprit. Teachers report that young students are arriving at school unable to even turn the pages of a book.

Researchers say the decline in hands-on activities — like crafting, outdoor play, and puzzles — has been being supplanted by screen time for years.

The problem? With screens replacing traditional playtime, kids are missing out on crucial movements that develop dexterity, patience, and focus.

To help reverse this decline, experts suggest incorporating fine motor activities into daily routines. Simple tasks like pouring drinks, buttoning shirts, and drawing with crayons can strengthen coordination. Encouraging outdoor exploration, building with blocks, and reducing passive screen time can also make a big difference.
