Impact of Screen Time on ADHD
Recent studies show a significant increase in ADHD diagnoses, correlating with higher screen time in children and adolescents. 📱🔍
Statistics on ADHD
According to the CDC, the prevalence of ADHD among children aged 4-17 years increased from 7.8% in 2003 to 11% in 2011-2012. 📊
Screen Time and Sensory Processing
Excessive screen time is linked to sensory processing issues, as it can overstimulate the brain and hinder its ability to process sensory information effectively. 🧩
Research Findings
A 2018 study found that teenagers who spend more than three hours a day on screens are 35% more likely to develop ADHD-related symptoms. 📚🔬
Healthy Screen Habits
Encouraging balanced screen time and promoting outdoor and offline activities can help mitigate these risks. 🌳🎨
