Thank you always to WDBJ7 for sharing important information that help protect our families in our communities!

We are addicted to our phones now more than ever. And it starts as young as babies and toddlers.

That’s why parents need to be vigilant about limiting screen time for their little ones.

Nancy Hans and Emily Harrison with Partnership for Community Wellness joined us on Here at Home recently to talk about how they’re educating the community about the risks of screen addition.

They are hosting several community meetings to talk about the latest statistics about excessive device use and kids’ developing brains, disruptive sleep patterns, and increased anxiety.

The damage is happening now, and it’s deeper than most parents realize.

Watch our conversation and talk with your kids.

Parents often look for physical threats to their children, so phones often don’t make their lists.
