“There may be negative effects of people scrolling through their Facebook timelines, Twitter feeds, Instagram just taking things in without posting or reacting that sort of passivity may lead to some negative consequences.”

Cape Town - Many parents worry about children’s screen time and may want to control the amount of time spent in front of screens.

“What they are doing seems to be more important rather than how much they are using it but what they are doing. If they are engaging actively like using educational apps, parents are sitting with kids and talking to them about what they are seeing on the screens, that is probably more helpful than if kids are just sitting and just passively taking in content.

“While screen time will definitely add to knowledge acquisition, if we negate cooperative interaction with people, we lose that in our educational experience. If we negate critical thinking and challenging what we learn and evaluating, we lose that experience in education. Mind you, many parents may disagree with this, saying that they believe that other studies indicate that screen time is bad for their kids in some sort of way.
