and it is expected that computer
simulations will account for much of the
learning style in the future. Both teachers

hours per day using digital devices,
and 66 percent of kids have their own
smartphone or tablet. As technology
becomes more of an essential part of

facilitate balance in their children’s digital
usage. Electronic devices, including
televisions, give off blue and violet
light that may affect vision by causing
eyestrain and discomfort. If your child
has to do homework using a computer or
tablet, then keep the television and other
devices off during dinnertime and enjoy
conversation together. Optometrists also
