Experts Warn of Uncertain Impact of Screen Time on Children's Brain Development
A new review introduces the concept of the 'criticome,' a key development window from birth to age 25, during which experiences profoundly and irreversibly determine who people become as adults. Researchers emphasize the importance of reducing children's screen time and increasing human interaction to support healthy brain development. The review, published in the journal Brain Health, highlights concerns that screens are intensively stimulating for young people, potentially leading to decreased interest in traditional activities that develop socialization, motor, and sensory skills.
