Last week, Spain saw protests in several cities: parents demanding fewer screens in schools and no devices under 6. First time ever. What do you think — is it realistic? 🧠📵 #ChildPsychology #Education #TechInSchools

Our study found that kids who sleep well recall more specific memories, while stress can harm memory—especially with poor sleep. Prioritizing healthy sleep habits early can support cognitive and emotional development 💤 #Sleep #Memory #Preschool #Devpsych doi.org/10.1080/0887...

💡 Our review finds excessive screen use in preschoolers is linked to poorer sleep, which in turn may lead to behavioral & cognitive issues. Would cutting screens before bed make life easier for kids (and parents)? What do you think? 🤔📱💤 #CogPsych #Sleep #Screens link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"Teaching is frequently judged inferior to research. Profs often boast about how they escape teaching to pursue science. Teaching vs research is a false dichotomy, but the system weighs in favour of those who prioritise grants and papers over students" thelancet.com/journals/lance…
