Excessive use of digital technology by children may negatively impact their development in several ways. Studies show that 31% of children age 3 and under already use computers frequently, but many kids can use devices before developing other skills like tying shoes. Excessive screen time is linked to decreased creativity, increased risk of obesity, impaired brain development, less socialization, and emotional issues. Prolonged exposure to technology can also hurt academic performance and language skills. While technology is increasingly part of childhood, parents must monitor kids' device use to avoid potential long-term effects on health, development, and behavior.
