Technology is part of school life now, but more screen time is not always better for learning. Some schools are rethinking how often students use devices because too much laptop time can lead to distraction and weaker learning results.

Kids still need time to talk, read, write, play, and move. These real-world activities help build language, attention, and social skills.

A healthy mix of screen time and hands-on learning can support your child best. If you notice concerns with attention, language, or school success, it may be worth looking more closely at how your child learns best.

These are the real-life skills that support school readiness before kindergarten. Save this post for simple ideas you can practice at home.

This parent's diligence is commendable.

As a former school-based therapist, I can relate to this mom's experience, which closely mirrors what I was often involved in and ultimately motivated me to start my own practice.
