Council Member Narcisse questions DOE on health evidence for screen time limits
Council Member Narcisse, drawing on her healthcare background, asks what health department or school health services contributed to setting the 30-45 minute limits and whether they were based on clinical evidence. Giunta references the research Laura Lai shared.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Thank you, Council Member.
Now, Council Member Narcisse.
Thank you, cheers, both of you, and thank you, Madam Deputy, and say thank you to the Chancellor for meeting us and helping us the best way that we can help our community.
And I know the conversation will continue with all your leaderships.
Thank you.
I have spent my time, my career in healthcare.
And how, and I know what hours of screen time can do to our children's eyes, sleeping pattern,
ability to focus, and we can say how engage with one another and critical thinking and analysis, I can go on and on.
So,
Setting daily limits was the right thing to do, the right call.
But a limit, only limit, only to mean something if someone is actually counting.
the minutes and the families can see the result.
So what did the health department or school health services contribute to setting the time from 30 to 45 minutes as the numbers?
And we're
those based on clinical evidence, because we know everything is evidence finding.
Well, for your specific question, that would speak back to the research that Lorelei was sharing.
We reviewed as we arrived at our 0, 30, and 45-minute screen limits.
Thank you.
