The idea

A media diet is everything a person takes in through media; young US children's daily use rose to about three and a half hours by twenty twenty-one.

The WHO's guideline of no more than one hour of sedentary screen time a day for three- and four-year-olds.

Where people slip

Screens used in place of caregiver time are associated with lags in cognitive and social-emotional development.
