Wednesday, June 19, 2024 11:03PMThe intersection of kids and screen time is causing quite a stir among parents, experts and even the US Surgeon General these days.
The research also suggested that it's important to take a closer look at the science behind claims about the negative impact of screens-since some studies showCNN recently talked with Walter about his research, how parents can change their thinking about kids' screen use, and the impact of screen time guilt on the family system.
If your parents work three jobs, they don't have a lot of time to spend with you at home, so you are with screens and also your academic performance may suffer. Covid was a great opportunity to examine the effects of screen time and the idea that emotions could play a bigger role.Associations don't allow researchers to make causal inferences. More important, the perfect study does not exist.
CNN: Dr. Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at New York University, recently published a book encouraging parents to keep their kids off phones completely until the age of 13. How do you reconcile your findings with those recommendations?Some screens may have some effects on some children some of the time. And it's true that if you want to isolate specific groups, specific media and specific content, you can always find those effects.
CNN: How can parents stave off that guilt? How can parents approach screen time for their kids with a different perspective?It's important to note that all these meta-analyses that I mentioned earlier find basically no effects for thresholds. So, time limits are not a factor. Each family is going to have a different threshold anyway. In our study-and again, the context was Covid-data indicated we were all basically just glued to our screens, including our kids.
