“…Raziskovalci z različnih področij označujejo kot neustrezna polarizirana stališča in posplošeno gledanje na digitalno tehnologijo kot škodljivo ali označujejo njeno uporabo zgolj kot pozitivno. Pediatri opozarjajo na uravnotežena priporočila pediatričnih združenj, ki obravnavajo tako negativne kot pozitivne vidike in potenciale tehnologije za učenje in razvoj (Straker, Zabatiero, Danby, Thorpe in Edwards, 2018). Raziskovalci na področju medijskih študij in izobraževanja poudarjajo potrebo po celoviti in kontekstualizirani obravnavi, ki povezuje prakse družine in šole ob spoprijemanju z zahtevami družbe po kompetencah za 21. stoletje (Livingstone idr., 2017).…”

“…Se ha detectado una manifiesta discordancia entre las recomendaciones para el uso de pantallas en los niños pequeños por parte de organismos que se ocupan de la salud física y mental de los niños, y su real uso. 10 La Subcomisión de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) de la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría desaconseja el uso antes de los 18 meses, lo recomienda con estrecha supervisión de los 18 a los 24 meses y luego supervisar y acompañar a los niños para evitar la exposición a contenidos inapropiados y en horarios que afectan el sueño y la comunicación familiar. 11 Lo mismo sugieren la Academia Americana de Pediatría y la Sociedad Canadiense de Pediatría, que han modificado recomendaciones anteriores que fijaban pautas más rígidas para minimizar el tiempo de exposición a las pantallas en los niños pequeños: no al uso en menores de 2 años, no más de 1 hora por día de 2 a 5 años, mantener los horarios de comidas y antes de dormir libres de pantallas, asegurar que el sedentarismo no sea parte de la rutina de los niños.…”

La utilización de dispositivos electrónicos con pantallas y su introducción cada vez más temprana en la vida de los niños presentan un desafío que debe ser reconocido por el pediatra para contribuir a evitar su exceso. Se ha detectado una manifiesta discordancia entre las recomendaciones ideales y el uso real de las pantallas en los niños pequeños. Un correcto asesoramiento dentro de un contexto familiar, junto con una evidencia más sólida sobre los impactos a largo plazo del uso de la tecnología digital, permitirán a los pediatras apoyar adecuadamente a las familias.

“…Screen time (ST), commonly divided as television (TV) viewing and the use of computers, mobile phones, or tablets, has increased rapidly since the 2000s [1]. It has been suggested to limit ST for children aged 2-5 years to 60 min/day [2], but only 24% of children met the recommendation in Canada in 2017 [3].…”

Association of screen time with long-term stress and temperament in preschoolers: results from the DAGIS study

et al. 2020

Screen time is increasing rapidly in young children. The aim of this study was to examine associations of long-term stress and temperament with screen time in Finnish preschool children and the moderating role of socioeconomic status. Cross-sectional DAGIS data were utilized. Long-term stress was assessed using hair cortisol concentration, indicating values of the past 2 months. Temperament was reported by the parents using the Children’s Behavior Questionnaire (the Very Short Form), and three broad temperament dimensions were constructed: surgency, negative affectivity, and effortful control. Screen time was reported by the parents over 7 days. The highest education level in the household was used as an indicator of socioeconomic status. In total, 779 children (mean age, 4.7 ± 0.9 years, 52% boys) were included in the study. Of the temperament dimensions, a higher effortful control was associated with less screen time (B = − 6.70, p = 0.002). There was no evidence for an association between hair cortisol concentration and screen time nor a moderating role of socioeconomic status in the associations (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that preschool children with a higher score in effortful control had less screen time. Because effortful control reflects general self-regulatory abilities, promoting these skills may be effective in reducing screen time in young children. What is Known: • Screen time has increased rapidly during the last decades, and higher screen time has been linked with numerous adverse health consequences in children. • There are no previous studies investigating associations of long-term stress and temperament with screen time in young children. What is New: • Of the temperament dimensions, effortful control was associated with higher screen time in preschool children, but there was no association found between long-term stress and screen time. • Since effortful control reflects general self-regulatory abilities, promoting these skills may be effective in reducing screen time in young children.
