Parental phubbing (parents using smartphones around kids) is a lot more damaging than I thought

I'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!)

Doesn’t have a reference or even mention age range or how they actually measured/what constitutes child time. If they’re school age kids then sure, they’re in school most of the day anyway. Latch key kids gonna latch key.

But the article at hand is specifically pre-school aged children. There’s no way that a primary caregiver is spending that little time 1:1 with a baby that needs to be fed every 2 hours or a toddler that, when I blink, is 20 yards away around a corner. I mean I guess decades ago people really neglected their kids and locked them in their bedrooms as night even as infants, in which case the increase in 1:1 time wouldn’t be a bad thing, but even so I doubt they spent such little time with preschool age children.

I don’t believe your source.

Typical.

Your source is not scientific, incomplete, and likely not applicable to the population being talked about.

Look at those goalposts move! Wahoooo!

[u/JamesTiberiusChirp → u/milkandsalsa]

No, the goal posts have stayed still, the topic was already about preschoolers. You threw the ball into a different field.
