States move to limit classroom screen time

In a bid to balance screen use with traditional learning, several states have enacted laws to limit screen time for students from childcare through fifth grade. With bipartisan support, measures like Iowa's cap on digital instruction to 60 minutes a day are being adopted. These laws aim to curb excessive screen exposure that could hinder physical activity, social skills, and cognitive development. The legislative push underscores a growing concern over the long-term effects of early and heavy screen use on young children's health and well-being.
