Elaborate on the impact of electronic media on a child's development.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The average young American now spends more time with electronic media than in school. The typical 8- to 10-year-old spends nearly 8 hours a day using some type of electronic media, and older children and teenagers spend almost 9 hours a day. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) counsels parents to avoid use of screen media, other than videochatting, for children younger than 18 months. It also recommends limiting screen use for children ages 2 to 5 to 1 hour per day, and only of high-quality programs, to encourage more interactive activities such as talking, playing, singing, and reading together "that will promote proper brain development."Too much time on the Internet has been linked with violence, cyberbullying, trouble in school, obesity, lack of sleep, and other problems.
