Smartphones,tablets causing mental health issues in kids as young as two
- syntaxing 8y agoIs watching TV the same as using a smartphone and tablet? Do the effects they note transfer or is there something inherent about a smartphone and/or tablet?
- AznHisoka 8y agoThis is just an opinion but using a tablet makes my kid more anxious and addicted to constantly being stimulated. with a click, she can keep changing what she is watching. often, she doesnt even watch a video for more than a few seconds without changing it. With a TV, she usually has to focus on what is in front of her right there.
- syntaxing 8y agoInteresting! What age did you allow your daughter to use a tablet? Would you recommend another age in hindsight?

There's an article in Nature about this topic that was discussed recently on HN. That one found that the association between screen time and negative well-being exists, but is low.
