Researchers from Osaka University have discovered that mitigating the harmful effects of screen time on young minds could be as straightforward as encouraging children to play outside. Parents with young children are often concerned about the amount of time they spend on screens, such as tablets,
Screen time refers to the amount of time spent using digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers. Excessive screen time has been linked to a range of negative effects on children, including decreased physical activity, disrupted sleep patterns, decreased attention span and cognitive skills, and decreased social skills and emotional well-being.
Parents with young children are often concerned about the amount of time they spend on screens, such as tablets, phones, computers, and televisions. They may also be wondering about the impact of screen time on their child’s development and if there is a way to counteract its negative effects. A recent study from Japan has found that a higher amount of screen time at age 2 is correlated with weaker communication and practical skills at age 4.
Specifically, almost one-fifth of the effects of screen time on daily living skills were mediated by outdoor play, meaning that increasing outdoor play time could reduce the negative effects of screen time on daily living skills by almost 20%. The researchers also found that, although it was not linked to screen time, socialization was better in 4-year-olds who had spent more time playing outside at 2 years 8 months of age.
