Manage Screen Time with a Pony Share Membership
Worried about too much screen time for your children? Find out the benefits of riding outside in nature and how a Pony Share Membership can help.
How to manage Screen Time
Managing screen time is not easy, and having a regular riding session that they enjoy, can help get children outside in nature. Time spent with an animal can also lower anxiety and, if the activity is with friends, there is a greater chance of sticking with it.
Here’s the Science
Rosemary explains the science behind these findings in this week’s video. Since 2010, children and teenagers are increasingly experiencing a digital childhood, with more access to screens, which scientists are concerned about.
Here are some links to find out more about the science:
