Professor alerts to the impact of screens on child development

A professor warned about the negative impact of screens on child development. The specialist argues that there is a direct link between the reduction of play experiences in the early years of life and the low levels of physical activity recorded in adolescence. The reduction of free play experiences in the early stages of childhood is associated with increased time spent in front of screens. The alert comes in the context of growing concerns about the effects of excessive use of electronic devices on children and their long-term consequences for physical health and development.
