It’s an argument that every modern parent has had with their child: the battle to break them away from the mobile phone they’re staring at. For children, a smartphone is a window to games, videos and constant interaction with their friends. But for parents, it can feel like a minefield. 36
First, it’s worth bearing in mind that screen time can be beneficial. “ 37 But they
often use them to develop an interest. For instance, if they’re interested in gymnastics, they’ll watch videos of routines and try to learn from them,”Peter Twining, professor of education at the
Open University says.
38 It may help to explain the substantial gap in opinion between children and parents about how much screen time is acceptable. According to a survey, the amount of screen time that adults thought appropriate for children was 1.75 hours, with children believing it to be
3.34 hours.
39 However, recent research suggests that instead of setting specific time limits for usage, such as a maximum of two hours per day, it’s actually the nature of the screen time that
matters. For instance, passively looking through social media posts is less beneficial than actively playing games，which can improve problem solving skills. A study found that “how children use
the devices, not how much time they spend on them, is the strongest predictor of emotional or social problems connected with screen addiction.”
Twining agrees, saying：“I’m less concerned about screen time than about the nature of the
interaction around the screen. The screen should become a shared focus for interaction with the family rather than an individual activity. The screen shouldn’t be an alternative to communicating with your child. 40 ”
