A recent study led by Professor Caroline Fitzpatrick, first author of this article published in JAMA Pediatrics, is gaining widespread attention. The research, conducted alongside her team of collaborators, examines the relationship between early-childhood tablet use and emotional regulation difficulties, suggesting that more screen time at a young age may lead to increased anger and frustration, which then contributes to even greater screen use, creating a cycle that hinders emotional development.
The study has been highlighted in several outlets, all of which emphasize the growing concern over the impact of screen time on children’s emotional well-being and development.
