Student Conference : Healthy Screen Habits
Objective
Help students better understand how everyday screen habits can affect health, attention, sleep, mood, learning, and well-being. This interactive presentation brings common digital routines to the surface in a clear, age-appropriate, and practical way.
The goal is not to tell students that screens are “bad.” The goal is to help them notice how screens influence daily life, recognize moments of digital overload, and leave with simple strategies to make healthier choices at school, at home, and online.

Expected outcomes
- Students understand how screen habits can influence health, attention, sleep, stress, mood, motivation, learning, and overall well-being.
- Students learn to recognize common signs of digital overload, such as constant notifications, multitasking, late-night screen use, endless scrolling, and difficulty disconnecting.
