Screen time has become one of the most debated topics in modern parenting. Children today spend more time on digital devices than any previous generation, and the evidence on the consequences is increasingly clear. Understanding the research helps parents make informed decisions.
What the Experts Recommend
- Under 2 years: No screen time except video calls with family members
- Ages 2–5: Maximum 1 hour per day of high-quality, supervised content
- Ages 6–12: Consistent limits, with priority given to sleep and physical activity
- Teenagers: Quality matters more than quantity — focus on what they are watching, not just how long
Health Consequences of Excessive Screen Use
- Disrupted sleep from blue light and mental stimulation before bedtime
- Reduced physical activity and associated health risks
- Attention difficulties and reduced ability to focus on non-digital tasks
- Increased anxiety and depressive symptoms, especially in teenage girls
- Delayed language development in young children
