What screen time does to children's brains is more complicated than it seems

The impact of screen time on children's brains is a complex issue, with conflicting views on its effects. While concerns about the negative impacts of excessive screen time on mental health are prevalent, recent studies suggest that concrete evidence supporting these claims is lacking. Researchers argue that the nature of screen time, such as its context and content, plays a crucial role in its effects, and blanket recommendations to limit screen time may not be beneficial. The debate continues on how best to navigate children's digital exposure as technology evolves rapidly.
