The Negative Impact of Too Much Screen Time
Research shows that allowing children to spend too much time with their screens can cause a host of negative effects, including:
• Obesity: When children are inactive, staring at their screens, they are not burning calories. This sedentary lifestyle can cause them to gain weight.
• Sleep disturbances: The blue light from those screens interferes with the brain’s sleep cycle, disrupts sleep cycles, and can cause insomnia.
• Bullying or other behavior problems: Children who spend over two hours per day on their screens often have attention problems. Too much TV watching has also been linked to bullying.
• Academic problems: Children who spend too much time on their screens have also been shown to do worse on academic testing.
Many children suffer from sensory overload, hyperactivity and a lack of sleep. These children often act impulsively, are moody, and can’t pay attention in class or at home. Too much screen time can impair brain structure and function; it can cause obesity, insomnia, mood swings, and even problems at school. Because children’s brains undergo so much change during their formative years, this excess screen time can be even more damaging. Academic success, social skills, even career suc-cess can all be negatively affected by excessive screen time.
Plan to attend the PP Provider Team’s FREE screening of Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age at the PP School - January 24, 2020 @ 7p.m.
The Community Christmas Party Committee would like to thank the volunteer groups who helped to set up, decorate, and clean at the
event; the businesses & individuals who donated bucket draw & silent auction prizes; and everyone who turned out to celebrate
& support our wonderful community. It was a successful evening, with incredible
entertainment!
This year’s event raised $6,455 for the Porcupine Plain Healthcare Auxiliary!
Thank you all for your continued support — see you again next year!

The Marvin Powlowski Memorial Sled Dog Race, held on December 28-29, 2019, was a huge success, despite the low snow cover. Carl and George Knudsen spent hours grooming the trails in preparation for the weekend event. Teams came from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Minnesota. And a number of volunteers showed up to man road crossings, serve hot dogs, and help at the starting line. A beautiful supper was provided to the teams and supporters, all cooked by Evelyn Powlowski. Stories were told and memories shared by Ed Jenkins, who was also the announcer at the race site.
