each day, or log onto to Facebook when
you’ve got a quiet minute?
Dr Aric Sigmund theories on the impact
of social media exposure on body image,
mental health and wellbeing.
Increase in ‘friends’
From 150 contact real people to …?

Solutions
Impose a curfew of screen time
Encourage hobbies and other interests
No devices at the dinner table
Praise for what they do rather than how they look ( Deak)
Focusing on things that they do, rather than what they look like is far healthier and will inoculate them against body dissatisfaction and its associated horrors.
Theme 2 Project Reconnect
Growing concern about the amount of
screen time
Impact – neurologically, socially,
emotionally
Be real – how much screen time is too
much?
How do we encourage healthier habits?
