Make This Summer a Season of Stories
Creating a healthy balance between screen time and reading time is essential in the digital age. Start by setting boundaries, such as limiting daily screen usage or designating specific times for reading. Tools like screen time trackers can help monitor digital consumption and identify areas for improvement. Unplugging for an hour each day to focus on a book can be a refreshing change that benefits both mental health and reading habits.
New research from HarperCollins UK reveals a concerning shift: fewer than half of parents with children up to 13 say reading aloud is “fun for me.” Among Gen Z parents—who grew up with screens and digital media—reading is increasingly seen as a subject to learn rather than a fun or enriching activity. This change in attitude risks disrupting one of the most effective ways to foster early literacy and emotional connection.
