Breaks from school are prime time for screen time. But how much screen time is too much? And what can we do about it? Is screen time ever a good thing?

Devorah is the author of two books: Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World and Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World. She also speaks about screens at K-12 schools.
