“…Total daily technology use by young children in this study was over an hour per day with more than half of children 2-5 years participating in more than 1 h a day of screen use. This is less than in a recent study where children under 5 were reported to watch over 75 min of TV per day and other screens for an additional half hour (Waisman et al 2018), however it is possible that parents are underreporting children's technology use due to social desirability biases. Thus, it is likely that the majority of young children are not meeting current guidelines of less than 1 h per day of screen use for children in this age group (Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology 2017; Council on Communications and Media American Academy of Pediatrics 2016; Department of Health 2017).…”

“…La situación en Argentina parece no diferir, ya que un estudio transversal realizado en 2016 en Río Cuarto, provincia de Córdoba, observó que de los 160 hogares encuestados, 99 % tenía televisión y smartphones. Antes de los dos años de edad, el 80 % de los niños miraba televisión y 37 % utilizaba pantallas táctiles con ayuda, mientras que entre los dos y los cuatro años, 39 % utilizaba pantallas sin ayuda 4 . Según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC), el 81 % de los niños argentinos mayores de cuatro años utiliza teléfonos celulares 5 .…”
