Too much screen time can overload kids’ senses and affect attention and behaviour.

Try these tips:

✅ Encourage sensory-rich play
✅ Create tech-free zones, especially before bed

Balance screen time with active, calming activities to help your child stay focused and regulated.

Visual perception isn’t just about seeing it’s how the brain makes sense of what we see! 👀

Skills like telling letters apart, remembering shapes, and coordinating eyes and hands help kids with:
✅ Reading and writing
✅ Copying from the board
✅ Doing puzzles
✅ Navigating their classroom

If your child struggles with these tasks, OT can help build strong visual processing skills for learning success!
