Scientific research quite strongly links excessive screen time to psychological problems in children. You can be spared from science, if you&#x27;d like, but it does no good to ignore real problems just because you want to stick your head in the sand.<p>Edit: And for the bogeyman&#x27;s sake, if you&#x27;d like the &quot;proof&quot;, that&#x27;s what Google is for. This isn&#x27;t some fringe view. It&#x27;s about the same as asking me for proof that smoking is damaging.
