03 Jun Children and Technology

In our increasingly digital world, technology is more than just a tool; it’s a fundamental part of how we learn, play, and connect. For children, this means a world of exciting opportunities and, at times, unique challenges.



At our school, we recognize the transformative power of technology in education. Interactive apps, online learning platforms, and digital collaboration tools are revolutionizing the way students engage with their studies, making learning more accessible and enjoyable.

However, with great opportunities come great responsibilities. It’s essential for parents, educators and students to understand the potential risks associated with technology use, including screen time management, online safety, and the impact of digital consumption on mental and physical health.

For many parents. rules for limiting or prohibiting screen time can be hard to enforce. The Clay House suggests three tips which we have called “the three C’s” to help you decide when screen time is okay:

• Content: What my child is watching or playing with? Can he/she understands what he’s/she’s doing or potentially learn from it? At TCH we are using Smart Boards, which is an amazing technology It provide students with an enriched learning experience by projecting visual elements. This technology improves student learning, enhances literacy, boosts attentiveness, and increases comprehension, to name a few.

• Context: What has my child’s day been like so far? Have we talked and interacted a lot, or has he/she been plugged in for hours? At TCH we have a structured curriculum which is a perfect blend of academics & physical development & engages the children constructively during their session at school & they are able to channelize their energy in the right direction.

• The individual Child: Is it a difficult time of day during which a little time on his/her own with a screen would be soothing or helpful to my kid? At TCH we are using the Interactive Floor which motivates the children to initiate physical activity and learning themselves, and they are really good at navigating in the various games. And it really is a fantastic way to combine movement, play and learning with the digital.” It’s a great tool to enhance their social, cognitive, emotional and sensory-motor development.

We hope that thinking about ‘the three C’s’ in the moment when you’re trying to decide whether to let your child play with a tablet or watch a show, helps you make better and more mindful choices.
