Excessive screen time and problem behaviours among school-age children in Fujian, China: a cross-sectional study
The incidence of problem behaviours among school-age children is low in Fujina. The daily screen time, weekday screen time, and weekend screen time were positively associated with problem behaviours. We suggested family members shift to more serious and cautious attitudes toward children's screen exposure and adopt appropriate digital-related parenting practices, such as accompanying children when they inevitably need to watch electronic devices, to better understand and manage their screen time.
