Charting Pediatrics

Screen Time for Kids


Listen Later

Smartphones and tablets have become part of daily life for children and families, but their influence on sleep, attention, mood and overall development is increasingly under the microscope. From overstimulation and disrupted sleep patterns to rising concerns about anxiety and attention regulation, the research around screen time is rapidly evolving. In this episode, we take a closer look at the evidence behind how screens are shaping childhood and explore what pediatricians can do to help families find balance in an always-connected world.

Rachel Workman, MD, is a Pediatric Integrative Medicine Specialist at Children's Hospital Colorado and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • The negative impacts of screen time at a young age
  • How parents can strategically intervene
  • Why screen time is impacting development
  • What the research tells us
