There is no doubt we have all experienced a huge increase in the amount of screentime we have had this past year. And for many of us that has meant giving in to an amount of screentime for our kids that we were not entirely comfortable with. But in essence it purely and simply became a necessity of life.
We had kids at home doing remote learning and parents trying to juggle that whilst working from home. We had screens as the major form of information and education, for entertainment and for socialising. Many kids spend many hours on gaming devices just to get their fix of connecting with their mates. Many parents had to concede that extra time kids had on devices just so they could do some uninterrupted work, or simply have some time out for themselves.
