  • A lecture at Marquette University on Friday explained the real-world impacts of screen time, social media, privacy settings and more on kids.

The article from Yahoo Life discusses the impact of screen time and social media on children, highlighting concerns raised by parents and experts. It notes that while the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than one hour of screen time for children aged 2 to 5, and consistent limits for older children, many kids exceed these guidelines. The article cites a study showing that children as young as 12 are using social media, which can lead to issues like cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate content, and negative effects on mental health. Experts suggest that parents should monitor their children's online activities, set strict screen time limits, and encourage more physical and social activities to mitigate these risks.
