The time that children and adolescents spend interacting with screens is associated with both benefits and risks to education and health, but these effects are small, according to a review of 102 meta-analyses published in @NatureHumBehav. https://t.co/nlZd6w7uca

[The Project @theprojecttv]

New research has found parents can relax a bit about the amount of screen time their kids are getting, as its effects on children aren't as harmful as previously thought.

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

A major study of screen use found it’s not the screen itself that really matters, but what’s on it and the way kids use it.

As @tarensanders + colleagues (@ACUmedia, @UQ_News) found, TV can be educational – but social media likely harms mental health. https://t.co/2MWvaf7akp

1.9 million kids, 2500 primary studies, 102 meta-analysis, and now 1 umbrella review!

We find that screen time is a complex issue. Effect sizes are usually small, and content seems to matter most.
