As children grow, we help them to develop greater age-appropriate independence; they gradually learn important life skills such as decision-making, time-management and social skills.

As we enter another semester in virtual learning at Northbridge International School Cambodia, the concern over too much screen time is a worry which weighs on parents and teachers alike.
