Abstract
This senior capstone research project examines how early access to electronic devices at home affects the well-being of young children. As screen time increases among young children, there are growing concerns about how it can impact their health, development, and social skills. Through the use of literature review and surveys with parents and teachers, the results revealed that too much screen time could lead children to problems, such as sleep issues, language delays, emotional hardships, anxiety, and depression. Given this, the results from this study will help guide parents and educators on how to manage screen time for young kids.
