Steps

Make three piles of cards: Heart (emotions) / Star (example) / Cross (free) 

The educator explains the rules and gives an example for each card. 

Ask the children to draw an example card (16 cards available) and read it aloud. For the example card, the child must give the feeling that corresponds to the example drawn, according to him. 

 

Students who agree raise their hands. Children realise that they are not alone in these situations. 

 

In a 2nd time, we can draw 

 

a feeling card: the child must then give an example of using the smartphone that illustrates this feeling 

 

OR a white card: the child can express a feeling with an example of smartphone use that corresponds, freely. 

We can envision a balanced day, with a maximum of one hour of screen time.

And a typical day with 6 hours of screen time, which leads to overstimulation and emotional overload. Here's what to avoid:

Waking up and checking your newsfeed on your smartphone: This can quickly become irritating due to bad news, it can annoy, or even frustrate if there's no message from a friend or if someone hasn't replied yet. Try to postpone your first screen access in the morning as much as possible to have a healthier wake-up without external interventions.

Especially since there can quickly be social pressure with exchanges, where one must respond to all messages and not miss out on conversations, otherwise risking rejection from the group.

This also applies to breakfast time when watching TV or YouTube. It doesn't help reconnect with reality. It hypnotizes with the images being broadcast.

There's also the time before sleep. Playing a video game before bed makes one nervous, even aggressive.

Therefore, it's important to take the time to understand the things around oneself, not to be overfed with information. It's crucial, as much as possible, to control the information one perceives in order to digest it better.
