[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The correlation between screen time and ADD is convincing.  I am glad it seems to have worked out for you but it is not anything I would ever recommend a parent do to cope with children.  [/quote]

Uh, okay? Yes do cite that research. Also have you actually looked at the new screen guidelines? The research re screens being negative deals with obesity. And ADHD is neurological. Like autism. The biggest study on ADHD ever done, which is in the lancet this month, confirms that. You don't "catch" ADHD from screens. The research on that point does not exist and is not convincing. Sorry.

Yep.  Research is convincing that you can't catch ADHD from staring at screens. Now, if you said that kids with ADHD, because of the way their brains are developing can become "addicted" or more specifically, have a more difficult time "turning it off" due to the way certain games etc. hit dopamine receptors, etc. etc. you might have had a more receptive audience, and that might be a good reason to limit screen use depending on the type of programming that the children are seeing.  But it's definitely more nuanced than screentime bad.[/quote]
