Screen Time, 5G & EMF Exposure: What Every Parent Should Know About Their Child’s Health
In today’s tech-driven world, it’s nearly impossible to raise kids without screens, and the convenience of WiFi, tablets, and 5G is something most families rely on daily.
But a growing number of parents and experts are asking: Could constant exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) be affecting our children’s sleep, behavior, or brain development?
While the long-term effects of EMF exposure are still being studied, recent research suggests that chronic exposure to radiation from devices like smartphones, tablets, and wireless routers may influence neurological, behavioral, and even hormonal health in children.
If you’re a parent trying to make sense of the risks, and wondering how to support your child holistically, you’re not alone.
What Are EMFs, and Why Should Parents Care?
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as “radiation,” that are emitted from electronic devices and wireless technologies. These include:
- Cell phones
- Tablets
- Smart TVs
- WiFi routers
- Bluetooth-enabled toys
- 5G towers and antennas
The concern? Children’s brains and nervous systems are still developing and may be more vulnerable to the biological effects of EMFs.
