Parental screen use: influences on children’s health and development

Description

Screens have become an omnipresent part of family life. Although we often talk about children’s screen time, it is important to also consider parents’ use. In this presentation, we will discuss parents’ screen use, the interference of technology in parent-child relationships, and parental oversharing on social media.
