Hi Kelly. Thanks for your response. I have replied to your poster. The nuance of the article is that I am commenting on very young children. There is research on the dangers of this. This is a good sum up article. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0885201423000242

It includes the recommendations

"No screen time for children younger than 2 years, with an exception of video chatting • Minimize screen time for children 2–5 (max 1 h), providing alternative activities • Avoid exposing children to background screens, e.g., by turning TV off if no one is watching or when child is present in the room • Engage in co-viewing and mediating strategies, by e.g., creating rules on screen-time and which content is allowed to be viewed, explaining what is happening on the screen, asking questions about viewed content • Select interactive media content and use media together with your child • Avoid fast-paced programs and apps with highly distracting content, select programs that are not interrupted with commercials • Screen media should not be used as means to calm children, with an exception of special times, e.g., during medical procedures or flights • Use of screen-devices should be avoided by all family members during meal and playtimes, right before nap/bedtime, and during family gatherings • Discuss any concerns regarding child screen-media use with healthcare providers."
