Longitudinal associations between child, parenting, home and neighbourhood factors and children’s screen time through 4 to 7 years of age
Providing guidance to families about building healthy screen practices from an early age should focus on parenting consistency and management of screen time, as well as responsiveness to engage children in other activities. Home routines on screen use, when consistently managed, can provide young children with opportunities to learn to self-regulate their own screen use behaviours from an early age and build healthy screen time habits.
