The Parent Counselling Session on “Understanding the Impact of Screen Time on Pre-Primary Ages was successfully conducted by Dr. Sonal Gupta, Child Counsellor, at GD Goenka Public School. The session, held under the leadership of our Principal, Dr. Prerna Mitra, was organized by Ms. Divya Sabharwal, Pre-Primary Wing Coordinator, who felt the urgent need to educate parents on this need of the hour topic.
With digital devices becoming an integral part of everyday life, concerns about excessive screen exposure in early childhood have grown significantly. To address this, the session aimed to raise awareness among parents about the effects of prolonged screen time on young children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development.
Dr. Gupta provided valuable insights and practical strategies for promoting healthy screen habits, such as setting screen time limits, monitoring content, and encouraging physical activities and outdoor play.
The session received overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents, who appreciated the informative discussion and shared that they now feel more confident in managing screen time at home.
This initiative by the Pre-Primary Wing reflects our commitment to supporting holistic child development, and we look forward to organizing more such sessions in the future.
