Younger kids are growing up in a digital era and it may be having a negative effect on them. While watching a movie or playing a game on a phone may be fun for kids, parents need to limit the time on devices for many reasons.
When it comes to the dangers of smartphones with kids, people mostly think about how screen time is affecting children's brain development. Others may think kids playing video games means they are not engaged in active play and becoming overweight. Then there is the danger of exposure to blue light and EMF radiation, which parents need to consider when it comes to kids and technology.
The “invisible energy that leaks from electronic devices.”
EMF radiation is an “invisible energy that leaks from electronic devices.” This health threat is something that we need to consider when we parents let our kids play on our cell phones. While it may be easier to let our phones "babysit" the kids so we can get things done, we need to limit the time that kids are engaged on screens. We grownups should also learn how to take a break from looking at electronic devices. Spending less time on devices can be beneficial to our health.
Is Technology Harming Our Health?
Teaching kids about the danger of exposure to blue light and EMF radiation
The founders of Lightbody® Total Eye Health + Blue Light Filter Supplement have written a children's book based on the conversations with their children about Digital Wellness and taking a break from technology. Henry's Tech Free Trip is a sweet book that helps show kids the importance of not just taking a break from tech but about spending time outdoors, being active, and being with family.
Henry’s Tech-Free Trip
In the fast-paced world of smartphones, tablets, and endless digital distractions, Henry’s Tech-Free Trip is the first and only children’s book to create a narrative around screen time and its potentially negative effects. This relatable tale follows Henry, a curious child navigating the world of technology.
Henry’s Tech-Free Trip engages young readers with its amusing plot and helps its readers learn that we can have fun without screens. This book teaches both kids and parents about the dangers of blue light and EMF radiation in an easy-to-understand format.
The founders of Lightbody Labs ~ Kylen and Michelle created this book along with Kylen Ribeiro. Henry’s Tech-Free Trip narrates the conversation between Kylen and her own children about staying mindful of screen time and enjoying technology in moderation, to limit exposure to blue light and EMF radiation–the “invisible energy that leaks from electronic devices.
A book for children and adults
This book may be written for children but parents too need to also learn about the importance of limiting screen time. If parents want kids to not be on screens, they need to set an example and take breaks from their devices. Like the parents in the book, we need to plan family activities that don't involve smartphones.
While it may be easier to allow a child to have screen time while we do things such as chores or shopping, it may not be good for kids. For older kids, have them help you with the chores. For younger kids, like babies, try singing to them or even talking to them, instead of having them stare at a screen.
Order your copy of Henry’s Tech-Free Trip and embark on a journey towards a more balanced and fulfilling tech-free life!

This sounds like a great tool for parents! I've always been worried about the negative effects of screen time on very young children.
This is pretty cool - it is nice to see kids off their devices and getting fresh air or doing other things. This is a great strategy.
This sounds like a great book. It's good to be aware of too much screen time hardships.
Yes my family total needs to unplug for awhile!
This is a really good book. I've been trying to limit my children's screen time but they can get a bit obsessive.
What a great book. This will help the kids at my home to be entertained and have a rest in digital aspects
Yes, we do need a device break at my home.
It's a beautiful book, and I can say that is very useful. We need to teach our kids from early age how important is the screen free time.
This sounds like a lovely book. I do think kids are on screens too much. When I was little we was all outside playing most of the day
Definitely a much needed read for today's world of tech everywhere
I think it's an important lesson to give children, how to experience their moments/moments in their lives without the presence of technology!
Sounds like a great read, it's so important that our kids get off those screens. Reading and getting outside is not as important as it used to be for some kids. Those devices take over many lives, even adults.
This is a marvelous topic to share with kids! Such a different time from when I was growing up.
I think this would be a good book to read. It's definitely something I'll keep in mind!
This looks like a cute book. With running a blog, it’s hard to reduce my screen time on a daily basis.
Limiting screen time is definitely important. Kudos to the author for writing this book. Great book, for sure. -LYNNDEE
