Children are spending more time in front of screens as a result of the growing use of digital gadgets. Here are five negative effects of too much screen time for kids:
More screen time means less physical activity, contributing to obesity and health issues.
Screen time before bed disturbs sleep cycles and lowers sleep quality.
Referred to as ‘digital eye strain’, prolonged screen time can lead to eye strain and discomfort.
Excessive screen time limits face-to-face interactions, affecting social skill development.
Fast-paced digital content can decrease children’s ability to focus and maintain attention.
