The Potential Dangers of Too Much Screen Time
Outside of school and homework, 8 to 12-year-old children today use screens more than 4 hours a day, while 13 to 18-year-olds use screens for more than 7 hours a day. That is a long time!
If you think your children are "addicted" to their screens, perhaps it is time to talk with a medical or mental health professional.

The Potential Dangers of Too Much Screen Time
By Dr. Mitch Parker
Research is beginning to suggest that 8 to 11-year-old children who exceed screen time recommendations score lower on cognitive tests and that the combination of extended screen time, too little sleep, and lack of physical activity may be associated with negative mental health outcomes. In younger children, the more time they spend on screens, the less likely are they to read books. It is also possible that children who spend hours on the screen lose or do not develop social skills necessary for in-person interaction.
