Screen Time’s Hidden Cost on Kids’ Brains | Little Rock News

from Little Rock News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Today!

A new study of over 2,000 kids reveals that heavy screen use—especially before bed—may harm attention and memory, thanks to blue light disrupting sleep. Kids spending more than two hours daily on fast-paced content show the worst effects, sparking fresh urgency for parents and educators to balance tech with well-being. Researchers stress that content matters too: educational apps may be safer than passive scrolling. While not definitive, this adds crucial weight to the ongoing debate about how we raise digital natives—and reminds us to think critically about our screen habits.
