How Much Is Too Much Screen Time?

How to Limit Screen Time for Kids

These days everyone spends a lot of time in front of screens. If you’re a parent concerned about your kids and their screen time, we’re here to help. Landmark Christian School encourages human interaction and minimal screen time for kids at our private Christian schools in the Atlanta area - Fairburn, and Peachtree City, GA. While there are some learning benefits from TVs, computers, and smartphones, too much screen time can have many adverse effects. When it comes to average screen time, teenagers spent about nine hours a day interacting with media outside of school or homework. Kids between the ages of eight and 12 spend about six hours a day interacting with media, and kids from two to five spend about 32 hours per week in front of screens. Find out more about limiting screen time for kids, and get in touch with us if you have any questions about how we limit screen time at our schools.

Which is better, training movements or training muscles? 6 Simple Movements | 6-Minute Work Out

11/2/2021

Charlie Rhea, M.S. SCCC, CSCS, USAW, Director of Performance Training, Landmark Christian School

Intro

When you hear “muscle training”, what comes to mind? Most people think of the "bro" split workout program. This would be something like - biceps and back on day 1, triceps and chest on day 2, then legs and abs on day 3. Then repeat! That is all fine and can totally work - if you are a bodybuilder. However, if you are trying to do something that involves the full body every day, one different approach is to try training movements.

Below are the main differences between movement training and muscle training.

Hidden Passions - Emerson Nogueira, Class of 2023

10/26/2021

Like many Landmark students, Emerson Nogueira has been extremely busy getting back in the groove at school, but when he isn’t in the classroom, he is slaying tires at the race track. He has an incredible passion for drifting that started at a young age watching professional drivers on the internet and dreaming of a future where he would be able to do the same. About two years ago, Emerson went to his first event as a spectator to experience the scene and find information about how he could join. It was that same day that he met a driver with a spare helmet who would change his life forever with a simple question: “Do you want to ride?” Emerson was completely hooked and could not wait to get back on the track - but next time in the driver’s seat.
