“…For leisure activities children in the two younger age groups most often used the TV and smartphone, while children in the oldest age group most often used smartphones and computers. A similar trend for preference of smartphone usage has been seen in other research as well (Kulakci-Altintas, 2020;Sivrikova et al, 2020;Zilka, 2020).…”

This research aimed to examine digital technology (DT) use, sleep quality (SQ), and the correlations between these variables in children and parents, in Croatia during the lockdown. Furthermore, it aimed to determine parental life satisfaction (LS) and its relation to DT use. In an online questionnaire, 281 parents of children (3 to 14 years old) provided information about the duration of DT activities throughout the pandemic, compared to the time before the pandemic, the time spent using digital devices in a typical day, and SQ for themselves and their children, as well as the estimates of personal LS. The results show that the relationship between DT use and SQ during the lockdown differs between parents and children. More time spent using DT devices is not related to SQ in parents, and more time spent on smartphones is positively associated with parents' LS. In children, the prolonged use of smartphones for leisure is negatively linked to SQ. These results call for caution in allowing children longer screen time.

“…Этот феномен активно изучается неврологами, психиатрами, педиатрами, специалистами в области компьютерных технологий, психологии развития, лингвистами и педагогами. В настоящее время уже в годовалом возрасте дети могут использовать устройства с сенсорными экранами, легко перемещаясь со страницы на страницу, играть в визуальные игры, требующие быстрой пальцевой реакции [2,3]. Цифровизация жизнедеятельности общества и появление технологических инноваций на современном этапе определяют принципиально новую социальную ситуацию развития человека любого возраста, и положение в возрастной группе детей раннего возраста характеризуется как критическое, поскольку организация совместного проведения времени родителей и детей существенно изменилась, и не в лучшую сторону для гармоничного психического развития ребенка.…”

The article describes the impact of technological devices – gadgets – on the early cognitive and speech development in children. In early childhood, object-activity communication is the leading form of activity; its influence on the speech development is determined by the interaction of the child with the adult (object-oriented actions, the understanding of the purpose of objects, the use of verbal communication). The play activity of preschoolers helps to enhance communication and interaction with peers. Long and uncontrolled interaction with gadgets is connected with insufficient attention of parents and caregivers, which disrupts the process of communication and cognition, in particular, slows down the process of speech development. Foreign pediatric associations recommend eliminating the use of mobile devices in children aged 0–2 years and limiting their use to one hour per day for children aged 3–5 years. Most researchers identify a connection between the long-term use of gadgets by preschoolers, delayed development of endogenus attention, social interaction, distortion of cognitive development, delayed speech development and such positive effects as a high level of exogenus attention development, quick response to external stimuli.

“…The onset age of use of these MDs seems to be gradually lower over time, and up to half of children aged 0–3 years use at least one MD for an average of about 2–5 h per day [ 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Parents often use media as pacifiers, giving MDs to their child to keep them calm during the first (30%) and the second (70%) year of life. It has also been shown that parents allow the use of MDs to their children to keep them busy while carrying out domestic activities, to facilitate their sleep and to keep them calm rather than simply consoling the child in times of crying [ 3 , 7 , 11 ].…”

Pediatrics associations recommend avoiding the use of mobile devices (MDs) in children aged 0–2 years and limiting them to one hour per day for children aged 3–5 years. This study aimed to explore public risk perception on MDs use by children aged 0–5 years and attitudes of parents to children’s use. Participants were recruited on a voluntary basis by social media using a self-administered survey. The study included 3115 participants, most of whom were parents of children aged under 5 years (n = 1901; 61%). Most of the respondents (74%) considered that MDs use could be harmful for children’s health. The awareness on a correct use did not always translate into avoiding MDs use as recommended, especially in parents of children aged 0–2 years. Half of the sample (54%) received or sought information on risks related to MDs use. The most consulted information sources were the web (78%), and pediatricians in only 22% of cases. Understanding the determinants of parents’ risk perception and behavior is necessary to design effective family-based interventions in order to guide parents to a moderate and more careful use of MDs by their children. To do so, public health actions must aim to strengthen awareness about conscious use of MDs.
