Madigan S, et al. - In a population of mothers and children, researchers evaluated the directional connection between screen time and child development. In this cohort study of early childhood development in 2441 mothers and children, higher screen time levels in children (aged 24 and 36 months) were related to poor performance on a screening measure assessing children's developmental milestones at 36 and 60 months, respectively. According to results, the directional association between screen time and child development was supported in this analysis. Recommendations include encouraging family media plans and managing screen time to offset the potential impact of overuse.
