Children and Screens
Activeby Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development
Research institute providing evidence-based guidelines on children's digital media use.
What Children and Screens asks for.
Children and Screens is the leading interdisciplinary research institute studying the effects of digital media on child development, founded by Dr. Pamela Hurst-Della Pietra. Their recommendations synthesize findings from neuroscience, psychology, and pediatrics into actionable guidelines covering screen time, social media, gaming, and sleep. Phosra can translate these research-based recommendations into measurable platform rules for families who adopt them.
