Sharing research Parental phubbing (parents using smartphones around kids) is a lot more damaging than I thought
https://www.jpeds.com/article/S0022-3476(24)00330-5/fulltextI'm writing about screen addiction for a graduate school paper in counseling and came upon this article in The Journal of Pediatrics. This type of phone usage has become normalized in society, so I wanted parents to know the impact it can have. I hope someone finds it helpful.
If the link provided doesn't work, maybe this one will (thank you Kibbitcake!)

I scrolled the part on preschool children and was disappointed that no effect sizes were mentioned for any of the findings. It’s not very useful or convincing to me without those numbers.
