“…Toddlers, children aged 0 to 3, like screens and seem to learn quickly their way around touch interfaces. TV has been used as an "electronic babysitter" for decades, but recent evidence suggests that excessive media in infants and toddlers is correlated with observed "difficult" temperament [20][21] or self-regulation problems [22]. Population-based studies show associations between excessive TV viewing in early childhood and cognitive [15,17], language [13][14] and social/emotional delays.…”

Children start to be heavy users of media and connected devices as young as 5 years old. This widespread change of habits, while it is regarded as an opportunity for enhanced learning and acquisition of digital literacy, also raises concerns about the impact that is having and may have in the near future of children's health, development and exposure to risks. Parents have to cope with these concerns and address these risks as part of their duties. "Parental Mediation" is the management of the relation of children with media and online devices. Parental mediation as a form of socialization as parents influence their children's behaviors and attitudes related to technology. This paper analyzes the risks and implications of the growing exposure of children to tech, goes through a number of studies on parental mediation, and proposes a set of guidelines for parental mediation.

Today's children and adolescents are immersed in both traditional and new forms of digital media. Research on traditional media, such as television, has identifi ed health concerns and negative outcomes that correlate with the duration and content of viewing. Over the past decade, the use of digital media, including interactive and social media, has grown, and research evidence suggests that these newer media offer both benefi ts and risks to the health of children and teenagers. Evidence-based benefi ts identifi ed from the use of digital and social media include early learning, exposure to new ideas and knowledge, increased opportunities for social contact and support, and new opportunities to access health promotion messages and information. Risks of such media include negative health effects on sleep, attention, and learning; a higher incidence of obesity and depression; exposure to inaccurate, inappropriate, or unsafe content and contacts; and compromised privacy and confi dentiality. This technical report reviews the literature regarding these opportunities and risks, framed around clinical questions, for children from birth to adulthood. To promote health and wellness in children and adolescents, it is important to maintain adequate physical activity, healthy nutrition, good sleep hygiene, and a nurturing social environment. A healthy Family Media Use Plan (www. healthychildren. org/ MediaUsePlan) that is individualized for a specifi c child, teenager, or family can identify an appropriate balance between screen time/online time and other activities, set boundaries for accessing content, guide displays of personal information, encourage age-appropriate critical thinking and digital literacy, and support open family communication and implementation of consistent rules about media use.

“…Nevertheless, studies with no significant relationship were found in this aspect, as shown by Tansriratanawong, Louthrenoo, Chonchaiya, and Charnsil ( 2017 ), which simply did not find any significant relationship between screen time and behavioral problems in children. Sugawara et al ( 2015 ), despite the damages shown above, confirms that technology/screen time is not related to problems of conduct or attention in children, as suggested by Poulain et al ( 2018 ).…”

“…Thus, Zhao et al ( 2018 ) states that screen time is mediated by variables such as interaction with parents, body mass index, and sleep quality. Sugawara et al ( 2015 ) states that it is the characteristics of the families that lead to increase or not the exposure to the screens. Howe et al ( 2017 ) also pointed out that electronic devices are used as a calming device for children’s behavior and are widely used by parents as an entertainment strategy to perform household chores at home.…”

Aim Several health organizations have been expressing concern about the amount of time children spend using electronic devices and about the benefits and damages of the use of touchscreen devices, such as smartphones or tablets, for the development and behavior of children under the age of 5. A systematic review was carried out in order to understand the impact of touchscreen device usage toward children’s development and behavior under the age of 5. Methods Using the PRISMA method, from a total of 6314 studies found in online databases, searched in English, between 01/01/2000 and 01/10/2018, 11 studies were selected for analysis. Results The results revealed that, in children under the age of 5, the damages of the use of touchscreen devices are superior to the benefits that may result, especially when there are more hours of screen time. More importance is given to the quality of the child-adult relationship and not to the use of touchscreen devices. Nevertheless, some studies emphasize some aspects that may reduce the negative effects, such as moderate use, less screen time, parental monitoring, and viewing educational programs in an academic environment. Conclusions Guidelines that should be given to parents about the use of touchscreen devices by children are discussed. The limitation of this study was the difficulty in finding studies directed to the desired age and type of electronic device. This may be taken as a potential cause of bias.
