📱 Screens, Kids, and the Research Behind It

We often hear phrases like “nakaka-rot ng brain” — but what does research actually say?

Studies suggest that how much, how fast-paced, and how supervised screen use is can affect:
• attention and focus
• language development
• learning and school performance

This isn’t about banning screens — it’s about balance, guidance, and intentional use.

📚 Research & Reading (for parents who want to dive deeper):

🔗 Parenting children in the age of screens — Pew Research Center
https://www.pewresearch.org

🔗 Screen time and language development in Filipino toddlers (2023)
https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-023-16188-4

🔗 Digital media use and attention difficulties — JAMA (Ra et al., 2018)
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2687861

🔗 Screen time and developmental outcomes — JAMA Pediatrics (Madigan et al., 2019)

🔗 Short-form video use and academic performance

💛 Bottom line:
Screens are part of modern childhood — but children still learn best through real interaction, movement, play, and connection.

Parents, what screen rules work in your home?

One child thrives with structure.
Another needs movement.
Another learns best through play or visuals.

Intelligence isn’t one-size-fits-all.
How have you seen your child shine in their own way? 👇💛

💬 DISCUSSION POST: “Right Child, Wrong Environment?”

So many children are labeled “mahirap turuan,” “not listening,” or “always behind”…
when in reality, the school environment just isn’t a match for their current developmental needs.

Finding the right placement isn’t about lowering expectations—
it’s about giving a child the conditions where they can actually learn, participate, and feel confident. 🌱✨

We’d love to hear from our Sibol parents:

👉 Have you ever experienced a mismatch in school placement?
👉 How did you know it wasn’t the right fit?
👉 What changed when you found the right environment?

Your stories can help other families who are going through the same thing.
Share your thoughts below. 💛👇
