## Resource

New research reveals kids under eight are spending shockingly more screen time than experts recommend—nearly four hours daily for toddlers, up to six for kids around seven or eight. Over 90% of families with young children exceed guidelines, even as parents underestimate actual usage. Experts warn this surge impacts language, social skills, sleep, and attention, urging greater awareness and family conversations to find healthier digital balances for the next generation.
