Abstract
The present study Is aimed to describe the harmful effects of mobile phone usage among babies of 2 to 5 year of age group. Although it has been a relieving tool for mothers as babies keep themselves occupied for sometime but there are long lasting effects on their mental development. Babies seek attention most often and In today’s tech and media-driven world, many parents use screens to keep young children entertained or distracted while they juggle other needs. It works. Screens captivate children’s attention in a way almost nothing else does, allowing parents a bit of a breather. But what is the impact of screens on young brains and how much screen time should they be exposed to? This paper aims to summarise the effects, signs, remedies and alternatives of screen time for children. This study examines the effects of screen time on many developmental domains and covers management and limitation techniques for kids' screen usage.
