Children’s brains are like sponges.

From your words, to your actions – they'll copy everything you do, including your screen use habits.

Try to be mindful of how often you use screens around your little ones.

Visit Best Start in Life for more guidance on healthy routines, screen-use limits, and better content choices.

👩‍🏫 Is your child starting school in September? Help them get excited by borrowing a 'Ready for School Bag' from one of North Tyneside Community Hubs and Libraries!

📚 Each bag contains stories to share, exploring what it's like to go to 'big' school. The bags are available to loan from Killingworth, North Shields, Wallsend and Whitley Bay Community Hubs and Libraries, and can be ordered from any of the other nine branch libraries.
