Study finds link between screen time and child development

Parents who let their kids watch TV or mobile phones for a fuss-free meal should take note that a new study says screen time could be linked to developmental issues. It is advising against the rising trend of using screen time as a child-minding tool. Dr Jennifer Kiing and Dr Kang Ying Qi from the Paediatrics Department at the Khoo Teck Puat - National University Children's Medical Institute at NUH discuss the impact of screen time on the development of children.
