Re: Screen time does not affect child development
#2Then why do so many kids scream their heads off and have temper tantrums when the phone is taken away?
I can’t read the article at this time as it says that the site has reached its limit and I have been rate limited and blocked. Some kind of wordpress add on called wordfence?

#3The screen time was self reported and the cohort was 9 to 12 year olds. I'm sure researchers are a capable bunch but to my naive mind that seems like a minefield.

All the previous 'screen time harmful' studies are also self reported.

> scream their heads off and have temper tantrums
Sure, but they also do that when you take away dessert. So you're on to something, ice cream causes developmental growth.

Re: Screen time does not affect child development
#7A parent doing their own "research" can quickly dispute these claims. A popular term in the parent community is "screen kid" to describe those kids who come for a play-date but literally don't know what to do when there isn't a screen in their hand. Screen kids tend be more neurotic, distractible, emotional and totally addicted to screen time. It's a little bit of a hot topic since the parents who rely more on screen-time to manage their children tend to disagree.

Your logic seems backwards.
The poster you’re replying to is saying:
Kids screaming and throwing tantrums when their screens are taken away implies that screens are bad for the kids’ development.
So, kids screaming and throwing tantrums when their ice cream is taken away implies that ice cream is bad, not good, for the kids’ development according to the poster’s logic.
I suspect most people do agree with the latter, that ice cream is bad for kids’ development, which is why everyone from doctors, parents, etc will recommend greatly moderating ice cream consumption, which is probably what most are recommending for screen time as well.
