A professor and specialist alerted to the negative impact of screens on child development. The research presented establishes a direct link between the reduction of play experiences in the first years of life and the low levels of physical activity recorded in adolescence.
The specialist argues that children who spend more time in front of screens have fewer opportunities for active play, which affects their physical and behavioral development in the long term. This reduction in play experiences in the first years appears to contribute to lower levels of physical activity when these children reach adolescence.
The alert comes in the context of growing concerns about the excessive use of electronic devices among young people and their effects on children's growth and well-being.
