    The Trouble with Too Much Screen Time
    Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm in the 5th grade. I've got something really important to tell you all about, so listen up! It's about our phones and tablets and how we might be spending too much time staring at those little screens. I've been noticing lots of kids at school who can't seem to put their phones down, even when they're talking to their friends. It's like they're somewhere else, lost in cyberspace or whatever. That can't be good, can it?
    I remember when I was younger, before I had my own phone or tablet, how much fun I had just playing outside and using my imagination. My friends and I would run around the backyard for hours, pretending to be explorers or superheroes or all sorts of crazy things. We didn't need electronics to entertain us - we made our own fun through conversations and games and general silliness. These days, it seems like more and more kids would rather just zone out on their devices instead of being present and engaged with the people around them.
    Don't get me wrong, I enjoy using technology as much as the next kid. Playing video games, watching videos, keeping up with my friends online - it can be great! But I've noticed that when my iPhone becomes the center of my world, I start feeling disconnected from reality. Have you ever experienced that? Like you're just mindlessly scrolling and tapping for what seems like forever, not really paying attention to anything going on around you? That's not healthy, is it?
    I think using our phones and tablets too much prevents us from developing really great communication skills. Instead of learning how to read people's facial expressions and body language, or speak clearly and make eye contact, we get used to having our conversations through texting and typing abbreviations like "lol" and "brb." We lose practice with talking face-to-face and being fully engaged listeners. Those are such important life skills that we all need!
    My parents are always getting on my case about being "anti-social" when I have my nose buried in my phone for too long. At first I thought they were just being dramatic, but th
e more I pay attention, the more I see what they mean. When I'm excessively using my phone or gaming tablet, I tune out the rest of the world. I miss what my siblings or parents are saying to me. I'm not a very good listener or conversationalist in those moments because my brain is fixated on the device, not the people.
    This doesn't just happen at home. I see it all the time at school too. There will be a group of kids hanging out together at recess or lunch, and they're all just silently using their phones rather than talking and interacting with each other! They're physically in the same space but mentally checked out in their own digital worlds. That makes me kind of sad because they're missing out on actually spending quality time together and making memories. Put the phones away, guys!
    Have you ever tried having an important talk with someone who kept pulling out their phone every two minutes? It's the worst! It makes you feel ignored and unimportant, like whatever stupid game or social media thing they're looking at is way more fascinating than listening to you. My friend Alex does this to me sometimes and it's really frustrating. I want t
o have his full, undivided attention when we're having a conversation. Is that too much to ask?
    I'm definitely guilty of being a distracted conversationalist too when I'm in a bad phone habit. Whenever my parents or teachers try to give me instructions or advice, I'll often find my mind wandering as I compulsively check my notifications. I end up having to ask them to repeat themselves because I wasn't fully listening in the first place. Then I get labelled as someone who has a "short attention span" - ouch! It's really a bad cycle.
    The thing is, I know I'm capable of being a fantastic listener and communicator when I'm not absorbed in my electronics. Some of my favorite memories are from summer camp a couple years ago where we had to put all our tech stuff away for the whole week. At first it was torture for me and the other kids, but after a day or two we all chilled out and started living more in the moment.tablet screen
    We told stories around the campfire, played games, did activities, and didn't have any electronic distractions tuning us out. I made some great friends on that trip that I probably
wouldn't have connected with as well if we had our usual digital pacifiers with us. Not having devices for that week allowed me to sharpen my skills at introducing myself to new people, maintaining eye contact in conversations, reading their body language, articulating my thoughts out loud, and being an engaged listener. Those are all things I struggled with when I was persistently attached to a screen.
