There is a lot of scientific evidence on the problems connected to Screen-Time, that is, the time spent in front of a screen, be it a smartphone, a tablet or a video game. If, in fact, a moderate use of devices can be positive for the well-being of young people, also promoting learning skills, the "abuse of smartphones" promotes a sedentary lifestyle and overweight, reduces hours of sleep and can also lead to language delay in the youngest. And it is precisely in the very young that the alarm goes off: 80% of children under 2 years old use electronic devices.
To delve deeper into this delicate topic, psychologist Francesca Biondi will go on stage to reflect on it together with the families: "The advice is to give a smartphone to children as late as possible; by now all children in elementary school have a cell phone, while I think it is appropriate to wait at least until the beginning of middle school and not before having done a "contractualization" work regarding how and how much to use the cell phone. At this age, the parent has the duty to access the child's cell phone and see what happens, while starting in high school these constraints should be abandoned as trust and a sense of responsibility grow."
“The problem is not only related to the contents whose effects we can all imagine - continues Dr. Biondi - but what parents need to think about is that through the smartphone they delegate the entertainment of the child: think about the difference between reading a bedtime story and letting the child listen to it alone, on the cell phone. Again, just think about how many times at the restaurant we see children with cell phones, simply to not let them get bored: children, on the other hand, must also know boredom because, by getting bored, they sharpen their wits, imagination and creativity”.
