flag Study links excessive screen time in young kids to mental health issues, especially for girls.

flag A study in Psychological Bulletin found that excessive screen time in kids under 10.5 years old is linked to anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, and aggression. flag The impact was stronger for girls and increased with more screen time, especially for those under age 2 and those who played video games. flag The study, analyzing 117 studies, suggests a vicious cycle where emotional struggles lead to more screen time, which in turn worsens behavior. flag Experts recommend parents limit screen time, avoid using screens for childcare, and encourage healthier activities.
