Prince Harry and Meghan Champion Emotional Health for Archie and Lilibet
# Royal Family LIVE: 'Proud' Prince Harry and Meghan Highlight Key Decisions for Archie and Lilibet
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have expressed pride in their parenting choices regarding their children, Archie and Lilibet. The couple articulated their belief in the importance of fostering healthy emotional responses in children, especially in the digital age.
Recently, Meghan emphasized the negative impact of excessive screen time on children's emotional development. "An emoji laugh is not the same physiological response that we need, that our kids need," Meghan stated, highlighting concerns about digital interactions in place of genuine emotions.
They pointed out that their approach encourages children to engage more with the physical world. The couple believes in "inviting kids to step back from their screens" to promote genuine connections with their surroundings. This perspective stems from their experiences working on the effects of digital platforms on mental health, both collectively and individually. Meghan remarked, "Because over the years, we've worked with how the digital spaces [are] deeply affecting our collective and mental, emotional, and physical health."
Prince Harry and Meghan’s commitment to nurturing authentic emotional ties among their children aligns with their broader advocacy for better mental health and well-being. Their approach reflects a firm stand against the challenges posed by modern technology on family dynamics.
