Healthy Children in the Screen Age

We all want to give our children the best start to life, but there are mixed messages about the safety of transmitting devices like cell-phones, laptops and tablets.

Dr Redmayne will provide widely-sourced, reliable information and research findings to help parents, teachers and health professionals navigate their way through the challenging decisions about children's use of transmitting devices.

The presentation will address:

- Adverse biological/health effects associated with cell-phone and device use, what the research is telling us

- Avoiding postural effects and impaired eyesight from device use

- Screen addiction, what to look out for and ways to avoid it

- How much time on devices is too much?

- Ways to minimise radiofrequency exposure

- How to develop good user-habits
