Worried About Screen Time? Don't Let Kids Go It Alone

Good morning,

As you may or may not know, Linder Educational Coaching is a small business focused on bringing the highest quality and satisfaction to our clients.  Our specialty is working with students with ADD, ADHD, other LDs, behavioral issues and problems with executive functioning.

We provide a comprehensive answer to families with students. We provide three main areas of service: private coaching, an after school program called The Hub, and workshops. In all of these areas we focus on organization, planning for the week and month, study skills, test-taking skills, subject comprehension, and independence. One of the tools we use in achieving this success for our students is using tablets and online learning. With many schools in the area using some form of tablet or computer in the classrooms, it's important that your student is able to properly learn on these devices without the distractions.

In this article from npr.org, entitled ' Worried About Screen Time? Don't Let Kids Go It Alone,' the author talks about how tablet learning for two-and-three-year olds on their own, versus with help from an in-person tutor,  makes a huge difference in their ability to learn and pick up the task.

"The ease with which we use technology makes us forget that this is really a fairly complex tool. If we think about how many hours each of us as adults spend with technology each day, and if you just add that up over at least 10 years, this is thousands of hours that we spent learning how to use this technology. These babies are only 2 years old, so their amount of experience using the tools is relatively limited. The fact that they don't just learn everything like magic from these tools means that they require someone to help them with this experience."

Here at Linder Education, we work with our students to help them learn to use technology tools the right way and enhance their learning instead of hindering it. If you are a parent who wants help with your child, we are here! Contact us today at www.lindereducationalcoaching.com
