- ziptron 3y agoI'm not sure how these studies ever conclude that screen time affects psychological well-being. What they do not account for is whether the parents of those troubled kids are less creative or available to nurture the kids, which in itself leaves the kids with more time to watch TV. Or perhaps these kids are just difficult little humans to begin with, and the parents need a break more often by allowing them to watch some TV.
