By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new advisory report from the Department of Health and Human Services highlights the concerning trend of children and adolescents spending excessive time on screens, often exceeding their sleep hours. This extensive screen exposure is linked to negative developmental, educational, and mental health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and obesity. The report offers guidance to parents on setting boundaries, modeling healthy behavior, and providing alternative activities to mitigate these risks. AI
