Read-Aloud Video: ‘Polly and the Screen Time Overload’
Introducing Kids to the Importance of Boundaries with Technology
In Polly and the Screen Time Overload, Polly loves visiting her grandparents on their farm every year. She looks forward to seeing the animals, helping out in the barn, and playing with her cousins.
That’s until she gets a new tablet as a present. Suddenly, she spends all day inside playing games and watching cartoons. Staring at her tablet screen, Polly risks missing out on all the family fun happening around her on the farm.
With easy-to-understand language and engaging illustrations, Polly’s story will help families start an ongoing conversation about self-control and how to enjoy technology within boundaries.
