WHAT THE HECK IS SCREEN TIME? For me, I consider screen time any time in front of a screen. This includes a tablet, phone, video games, and television. I didn't think about screen time until I became a teacher and even more so when I became a mother. Is it really that bad? Is there any good? IS SCREEN TIME A NEW THING? I'm no scientist but I do know how screen time has affected my life when I was a kid. I remember watching TGIF on Friday nights and horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street and The Exorcist
