This has given way to some amazing innovations in the form of online classes and courses.
This has of course enabled our children to continue their education from the safety of their own homes. However, another problem has slowly emerged: Screen time health

As new challenges emerge, we need to ensure that our kids remain healthy and make the most of their time in their virtual classroom until it’s safe to get back to their schools.
