The negative consequences of gadgets for young children and adolescents have already been documented in such detail that abandoning technology has become almost the main goal of education. But new research questions some of the speculations about the risks of spending time in front of electronic devices, at least in terms of mental health. Another study suggests that trying to stop a child from using gadgets may actually backfire.
There is no doubt that teens spend a lot of time on social media and video games. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that a child devotes an average of seven hours a day to electronic devices. Even children themselves admit that the situation is out of control: 54% of teens aged 13 to 17 agree that they spend too much time on the phone, and 52% tried to fix it.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends not handing gadgets to a child under 18 months old, limiting the time spent watching cartoons for children between the ages of 18 and 24 months, and allowing children two to five years old to use electronics for one hour a day. But for working parents, that means literally no smartphones, tablets, or TVs in the home.
