This article doesn’t have any actual information about how “screen time” affects kids in it. It’s just a “conversation” about the different forms of panic. Screen time is an incredibly outdated way of thinking about modern devices and their impact on people, especially kids. The concept was originally centered around the passive viewing of TV. Even if kids are just watching YouTube, the algorithm makes it a much different experience than TV. Teen girls do look to be inordinately affected by social media. Anecdotally, i worry about boys in particular when it comes to playing games. I have seen multiple young boys spending every free second playing games to the point of obsession/addiction. Between phones and Switches, a game is always within reach. What impact does the constant state of brain arousal and dopamine hits have on the young brain? Casino games, in terms of reward if not actual gameplay, are a huge problem in adults. I shudder to think how helpless a child would be when presented with games that are designed to be addictive.
