US EditionScreen time shock: Kids could spend 25 years on phones
INDIA, JUL 8 – Indian children under five average 2.2 hours daily on screens, twice the recommended limit, increasing risks of health and developmental issues, researchers warn.
- Children today in a digital world are on track to spend over 25 years looking at their phones, raising concerns about their well-being.
- This trend results from changing habits and new evidence reported by NPR about extensive daily screen use and online safety risks.
- Research shows excessive screen use links to anxiety, depression, poor emotion regulation, hindered social skills, and delayed development in children.
- Experts recommend setting screen-time limits, creating tech-free zones, promoting offline interactions, and maintaining adult presence to reduce risks.
- Without balanced tech use and physical adult support, children may face lasting mental health and developmental challenges amid rising screen exposure.
