Follow @bondedparents for more parenting wisdom rooted in connection. Somewhere along the way, we traded notebooks for iPads and assumed it was an upgrade. But research is now showing something parents were never told: The brain learns deeper, slower, and more permanently when a child writes by hand. Not types. Not taps. Not swipes. Handwriting forces the brain to think, process, and encode information in a way screens simply can’t match. It’s friction - the good kind. The kind that builds memory, focus, and real understanding. Screens make learning feel easier, but that’s the problem. Easy doesn’t equal effective. Easy often means… nothing sticks. And books? They calm the nervous system. They pull kids into presence. They help information sink in instead of slide past. If you’ve been worried your child is “behind,” this is your reminder: You don’t need more apps - you need more paper. SAVE this if you want to build stronger learners at home. SHARE it with other parents who need this insight. #parentingwithconnection #parentingtruths #sophiewinkelman #teachyourkids #screentimelimits #screentimeawareness #handwriting #readbooks Credits: Speaker: Sophie Winkleman Platform: Alliance for Responsible Citizenship | YouTube

While the pandemic had an outsize impact on student achievement, experts said falling scores are part of a longer arc in education that cannot be attributed solely to COVID-19.

Educators said potential underlying factors include children’s increased screen time, shortened attention spans and a decline in reading longer-form writing both in and out of school. https://cnn.it/45WQbv5
