Digital Broccoli versus Digital Candy
Although it's not realistic to rid ourselves entirely of screens, it can be helpful to give some thought to what uses of screens are "digital broccoli" or helpful and useful in our lives, and what are "digital candy" - those uses that are not so helpful. Some examples of digital broccoli include ebooks, keyboarding practice, viewing shows or movies together as a family, video calls with out of town friends or relatives, using videos to learn a new skill, or viewing virtual museums. Examples of digital candy include scrolling on social media, watching video after video on YouTube, video games or binge watching shows. It can also include letting your child be entertained with a screen while shopping, in the car or at a restaurant.
