Fit in Wassenaar has launched a new initiative together with the Municipality of Wassenaar and Kanslokaal: Schermgebruik.nl. This website offers parents, professionals and organizations in Wassenaar all the tools and information to guide children and young people towards healthy screen use.
Children grow up in a world full of screens. This offers opportunities, but also brings challenges. In Wassenaar we see that screen use among children has increased significantly. 28% of children in group 7 spend at least two hours at home in front of a computer or laptop every day, and 47% of young people spend more than three hours a day on screens for entertainment.
What can you find on Schermused.nl?
• Practical tips per age group (0-6, 6-12, 12-18 years)
• Scientifically substantiated information about the effects of screen use
• An agenda with local workshops and activities
• Useful downloads such as appointment cards for at home
• Free personal advice via Parent Advice Kanslokaal
The strength of Scherm usage.nl lies in the collaboration. Where Fit in Wassenaar activates children and young people with sports and exercise, Schermused.nl helps families to make conscious choices about when they do and do not sit behind a screen. Together we work on a healthy balance between online and offline.
