• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The impact of screen time on the overall health of children has become a subject of growing concern in recent years. Excessive screen time delves into the contemporary landscape of children's exposure to screens, analysing the duration, content, and the consequent impact on physical, mental, emotional and oral health. On a cognitive level, excessive screen time can impact the development of a child's attention span and cognitive abilities. In the digital age, children are increasingly exposed to screens through various electronic devices, ranging from smartphones and tablets to computers and televisions. The prevalence of screen time among children has become a subject of significant concern, prompting the need for a comprehensive examination of its effects. There are potential oral health risks associated with increased screen time, such as altered dietary habits, reduced physical activity, and adverse effects on dental hygiene practices. However, it is crucial for parents, educators, and policymakers to guide children's digital experiences to ensure a healthy balance between screen time and other activities, fostering a well-rounded and holistic development.
