New research reveals screen time could be worse for kids' development than we thought.
In this episode I discuss new research on the negative impacts of screen time on social-emotional development in young children. It highlights recommendations around limiting screen time and data showing most families don't meet these. The research found increased screen time is associated with hyperactivity, emotional problems, conduct issues, and peer problems in kids under 5. It suggests fast-paced, overstimulating content and less social interaction contribute. Lack of sleep and physical activity due to excessive screen time are also detrimental.
