The Hidden Costs of Too Much Screen Time

The Hidden Costs of Too Much Screen Time

From grades to mental health.

Scrolling feels harmless, but the hours add up. For families in Cambodia, the effects of excessive screen time are becoming impossible to ignore.

Academic Impact
When students spend late nights on social media or gaming, grades fall. Teachers report lower attention spans and missing homework. What looks like β€œjust one more video” can cost a child their confidence in the classroom.

Health Risks
Too much screen time is linked to poor sleep, eye strain, and reduced physical activity. Children who once played outdoors now spend entire weekends indoors with devices.

Family Connection
Parents say the hardest part isn’t the games. It’s losing family moments. Meals are interrupted, conversations replaced by scrolling, and parents feel powerless to stop it.
