Children/Adolescents addicted to Screen --think about its adverse effects on mental well being.


Children/Adolescents addicted to Screen --think about its adverse effects on mental well being.


A US study published in the journal Preventive Medicine Reports claim that after just one hour of screen time, children and adolescents may have less curiosity to learn, lower self control, bad temper & lower emotional stability that can lead to an increased risk of anxiety and depression. Leisure time spent by children and adolescents on such devices can and must be regulated for keeping in check the adverse effects on their mental health/wellbeing. Regular exercise regimen and playing outdoors in childhood/adolescence promotes long lasting health.
