CHILDREN BEHAVIOR

Using digital devices as calming strategy associated with worse children's behaviour: Study

A common occurrence for parents is when they are trying to prepare supper, make a phone call, or run errands and their child has a tantrum. Giving an irritable preschooler a digital device occasionally also seems to be a short remedy. Recent studies, however, have indicated that this calming method might be linked to even more serious behavioural problems in the future.
