A recent study suggests limiting children’s screen time by using a “stop clock” to monitor their usage. The research found excessive TV and video game use can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and aggression in kids. However, some children may turn to screens as a coping mechanism.
To help kids stay healthy, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends simple strategies such as setting screen-free zones, establishing screen time limits, and monitoring content. By implementing these tips, parents can support their children’s overall well-being, both online and offline.
