In this class, students will learn about the addictive properties of screen time and how to manage it effectively to avoid negative consequences. Led by a programmer with firsthand experience in the tech industry, the class will cover the psychological and technological factors that contribute to screen time addiction and provide practical strategies for avoiding it. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Topics Covered ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 1) Why screens are addictive - the tricks used to keep you watching, playing and spending more 2) How to recognise the symptoms - if you spot addiction earlier it's easier to deal with it 3) What can happen if you get addicted - the reasons why you want to avoid addiction 4) Ways to deal with it or prevent it & how to make better choices about how you use your time 5) The psychological and technological factors that contribute to screen time addiction ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Further Support ▬▬▬▬▬▬ If after this class you want support dealing with this issue and with the help of other students with the same problem, please click the following link for my support video game addiction class: https://bit.ly/video-game-weekly Or if you prefer to join a Group - https://bit.ly/VideoGameGroup ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Schedule Requests & FLEX ▬▬▬▬▬▬ If you do not see a time or date listed for a class that interests you, please message me with a few possible dates and times, and I will do my best to offer a session that will work for your schedule.
