ABU DHABI: Kids today are glued to screens more than ever, and it’s taking a toll on their health. From eye strain and poor sleep to lack of exercise and delayed social skills, excessive screen time is a growing concern for parents. To tackle this, the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center has introduced a Digital Detox Program for Children, aimed at helping kids develop healthier habits and reduce their dependence on digital devices.
This unique program takes a personalised and holistic approach, offering expert guidance and practical strategies to encourage children to engage in meaningful activities beyond screens. The initiative includes consultations with paediatricians, ophthalmologists, physiotherapists, and dietitians to address the physical impact of too much screen time. It also features body motion analysis, psychomotor therapy, and pulmonology check-ups to ensure children stay active, improve posture, and develop better breathing habits for a more energetic lifestyle.
By combining medical expertise with a supportive environment, the program helps children reconnect with the world around them, boosting their cognitive and social skills while promoting a healthier balance in daily life. With screen addiction becoming a serious issue, this program is a step towards giving kids the freedom to enjoy life beyond the digital world.
