- Parents who let their kids watch TV or mobile phones for a fuss-free meal should take note that a new study says screen time could be linked to developmental issues. It is advising against the rising trend of using screen time as a child-minding tool. Dr Jennifer Kiing and Dr Kang Ying Qi from the Paediatrics Department at the Khoo Teck Puat - National University Children's Medical Institute at NUH discuss the impact of screen time on the development of children.
Actually it’s affecting even the adults . More and more Adults spending too much time with the devices are lacking in communication skills 😊
This is so true, that children could not learn anything from their parents
I am a 30 year old mom and I can say this is 100% true for me..
I believe it. I had family watch my boys growing up and just put them in front of screens while i was working 8 hours a day. They had speech issues and were very behind. After I got rid of screens, added preschool, and worked with them myself they are doing really well in all areas but especially academics. One at the top of the class.
Can do a study to find the link between screen time and the sanity level of parents?
Can we do a study to find the link between screen time and laziness level of parents?
@@dianasani4758 can we do a study to find the link between people who judge parents for giving screen time and whether those people are actually parents themselves?
Why do we act like we HAVE to use tech for our kids? People have been raising kids for thousands of years without tech, why is it suddenly mandatory in order for a parent to remain "sane?"
@@youtubecommentator6023 Sure, we don't have to use tech if we no longer need both parents to work just to pay for rent. We can probably raise kids without tech if we can simply put them to work at the farms, as people used to do thousands of years ago.
@@youtubecommentator6023I agree with the sentiment...But society truly is much different now. There was a time during which it was much safer to send children outside to play unsupervised, and mothers would get a lot done during that time. Now, parents are expected to supervise children anytime that they are outside and most of the time that they are inside-and still complete all of the same chores. Parents are supervising their children more than ever before, and screen time can provide a break when parents have no other options for a break, which is why it's the poorest, most hard working people in society who often resort to much more screen time than is ideal. You're absolutely correct that we don't NEED screen time to raise children, but it can help with sanity when families are broken (no grandparents to help), and parents are exhausted.
The study has a huge caveat. The data was collected on kids already referred to nuh for child development issues. There is no "normal" control in the usual sense.
To say that more screen time causes DBE using this data would be quite challenging (which is what the message this video is saying). A more accurate frame would be to say that, kids with dbe have more screen time than usual.
The study does not represent true causation (which in itself is extremely hard to achieve in behavioural studies).
It could be due to gross parental neglect (data obtained by a survey filled by parents themselves who would obviously not declare their neglect) leading to children with DBE, but also use screen time to occupy their kid.
It could also be, that because these kids already have development issues, parents going insane, no choice use TV to help control the kid. DBE results in high screen time.
Behavioural issues are multifactorial, and to promote and frame this as causation to the masses is wholly unacceptable. The caveat on how the data has been obtained needs to be placed at the forefront of this recommendation.
Too much screen time maybe bad but my 3 year old kid speaks well despite the screen time. I think parents play an important role.
Sadly many parents lack the support to do what is best for their children. Society places too much blame on parents and not enough community support. It takes a village to raise a child.
Unfortunately it's not support they lack, It's conviction. A lot of parents aren't willing to make the necessary sacrifices and think that having children is something that needs to fit THEIR wants and needs, when it's really the other way around.
My husband and I sacrificed a lot so I could be a stay-at-home Mom. We're nowhere near wealthy, but our kids have always had what they needed. As soon as my husband graduates college, we'll be able to do even more for them. But it wasn't more "support" we needed. It was deciding what meant more to us and then acting on that decision.
@@youtubecommentator6023 spoken like some one who doesn’t have kids.
@@lleeensYou are speaking like someone who is a professional "victim" and never takes responsibility for the consequences of his/her actions
100%
It literally does. Humans have been doing it that way since the beginning of time.
Some times we can't help it. If you have a neuro divergent kid you'll know they can't even sit still. if you just want them to sit down and eat its not very possible especially outside in restaurants where it is over stimulating. It's a bad habit that needs to be broken using screen and feeding them. But I also try to make it a point to watch together, comment on what is happening on the video rather than let him watch alone. Some of the videos are also quite educational and they learn quite a bit. I do feel guilty of course I try not to let him watch all the time. Only when necessary.
Meal time should just focus on meal and as a family time
Lmao - Easier said than done. Some kids don't eat like adults and take more than an hour to feed! Besides human evolution never had 3 set meals a day. It's true what they said - The attention span is around 15 mins at meal time - For some kids, that's just enough for a couple of bites, which probably quells the hunger pain but isn't enough to properly grow. No parent especially an Asian one wants a ratty looking midget child - We all want 6ft tall healthy kids who only score 100% on every test. That's why when the screen is on their mouths just open up naturally - It's a relief. Besides we have to get to work, do household jobs etc - People don't live in villages anymore with paternal networks - We're all working 24 hours, mortgaged / rented up to teeth and the kid won't eat. Some of my friends kids are natural little fatties - They just keep eating and eating that's amazing but not all children are the same.
Sadly the type of parents that would be allowing their toddlers or little kids high amounts of screen time would likely NOT be reading about childhood development research. The conclusions in this study are frankly not new or rocket science.
Screen time can be beneficial as long as you spend time to curate age or activity appropriate content that can aid the development.
Also importantly, not all screen time needs to be consumed on a phone or tablet screen. Introducing interactive content can also help develop hand-eye coordination and motor skills. Even top athletes are using these to an extend to improve certain aspects of their craft.
The key is to balance it out with outdoor activities and interactive classes with peers around the little one's age to encourage the communication aspects. The major issue here especially in Singapore is parents are usually focused only on just academic driven classes that are more akin to tuition which do not necessary generate interaction.
I am a staunch believer in technology and professed both myself and my wife are attached to our screens and I am adamant that with enough care whatever traditional interaction that can be conceived by experts can be replicated with symbiosis to sceens and technology. I also admit that there needs to be moderation to the amount of screentime given and what I have described above is going to take quite some amount of time and effort to discover and plan out. But just listening to the experts conceding that their study is incomplete as they did not take into account of certain factors really irks me. They also likely did not look into how "screen" content is being consumed outside of stereotypical tablets or phones. This study is merely a hit piece that is skewed towards the negatives with an agenda as they are trying to propagate what they perceive as acceptable.
Parents please dont be ashamed if you require the assistance of screentime to substitute certain aspects of interaction or child minding. We were referred to speech specialist citing developmental issues for our child when milestones are not fully achieved. The only thing the specialists are interested in is finding faults in parenting and not even looking in the mirror when they made the whole environment hostile and scary for your little one. Ended up my kid does not like to talk to adult strangers when they are targeting their questions directly at him. He talks plenty(and too much if you ask me) even with adults and strangers around the neighborhood or even with staff members at attractions or malls as long as the environment feels safer to him. Imagine being in audit interviews after interviews or being grilled in an interrogation. That is likely how they feel.
So be proud and take what the experts say with a pinch of salt. Just give some thought into providing the best care you can give. At the end of the day, their livelihoods is dependant on the narratives they can portray and if the screens can take away their advice, all the years they spent studying and research might as well be flushed down the toilet.😂
I grew up reading a lot of English novels from popular literatures, an honour student, graduated with pre-medical degree and got my license to practice. I am deprived of TV during my growing up years and have curfews. Now, I let my toddler watch and play with his iPad anytime he wants it. Of course with limitation like during meal time and study time! Other than that, he can have it whenever it is appropriate. I think they should study more why parents give all these gadgets! Plus with the constant changing world and into technology, I don’t not want my kids to be technologically challenged in the future.
@@tocino4 so you want us to stop doing studies? Research and empirical collection of data is still very important to teach us about the consequences of actions and if certain actions create or don't create the desired outcome.
If you can't make a better comment, mind as well don't comment.
i have a 20mth old and a 4 yr old, i regreted giving them too much screen time for meals as well as letting me have time to do chores, WRM and rest. now the withdrawal symtoms are very bad and they have agressive behavior and delay speech.
Whether we like it or not this can’t be avoided anymore because we are in the digital age. As parents who know exactly what’s right and wrong than the kids who are dependent to them, they should be the ones giving and implementing the limitations. Discipline should be practice first by the parents.
I love this journalist's questions, so intelligent. Also, the honesty of the interviewees
Parents nowadays (especially as more Karens become commonplace.) are lacking communication skills themselves so they don't know how to interact or read to their children anymore. So they cope with a crying kid by shoving phones/iPads to them. Lazy parenting at its best
Genuine question, do you have kids and without helper?
@@lleeenswhat's with your question? What he/she said is true facts.
@@lleeens Working in children education.
I help take care of my siblings babies too. Unfortunately my own personal/health circumstances means I am now single and without children. We all practice ZERO screen time until a certain age and unless it is ONLY under supervision. If they need to learn coding on a coding app or maths, only use the screen for that time you are willing to be with them. And remove the device from them when you yourself are not teaching them anymore.
Imagine how our parents and parents' parents without devices take care of us back then. Sadly extended family network with so many siblings and cousins helps a lot. Nowadays lots of narrow network families with no help. But the point is the same, you interact as much as possible with your child. They too will learn social skills and the micro expressions of other human faces better if you constantly interact with them. Mealtimes bring toys instead of iPads. Let them solve the puzzle toy and ask you how and give them hints instead of solving for them to let them train their brains and also develop self-esteem with a sense of accomplishment. This will also nurture them into proper adults who will speak up when help is needed and boldly do things when needed.
@@lleeens well what's your point?
@lleeens I do and I don't have a helper of any kind and never will. I had my children and am raising them to use tech as a reward, not as a way to cope. Kids who learn how to use tech to cope don't know how to regulate their own emotions and have to rely on tech in order to do so. Is that really what you want the next generation to struggle with?
What about the80&90s kids who watch TV while growing up? Aren’t they growing up fine and well as parents these days? Yes social media are toxic but educational screen time can be helpful and an aid to parents. Should not assume all screen time is bad. Talk is easy.
nothing changed. We just moved from tv to tinier tv.
Nope our parents developed proper discipline back then. Even when we're watching tv. 1-2hrs per day on weekdays. There's balance, there's timetable. Don't go with "what about"..
The content matters
i think amongst the tv time they were also playing in playgrounds, void decks, ball games, cycling, block catching a lot more than children now doing games and ipad and tv only.
Have witness the transition when one generation of cousins (plays together physically) vs another younger generation of cousins all surrounding their devices instead. This is the differences.
Tv is lower stimulation
I see it all the time in Japan. People not talking to each other at a table. Or at the supermarket the kid is sitting in the shopping cart looking at a phone like a zombie.
My son has a lot of screen time but his language development is very good, considered advanced for his age. He is very communicative and talks non stop (ADHD i guess).
Title should say "negative link"
CORRELATION =/= CAUSATION!
Content not studied, as well as the child parent interaction during screen time would impress some very rigid conclusions. Some screen time (max 1.5 hours per week) with parental guidance could actually improve speech versus peers with zero screen time and excess screen time (>2 hours a week)
Parenting is hard. It’s work. Parents these days are working too much, wanting their me time, or put them in daycare. The iPad becomes a babysitter. Children are losing emotional investments by their parents.
Wow can't believe we need to conduct studies to know this. 😂
It is always good to have official studies to back up our common sense understanding. Better to have 2 guns than 1.
Ya I was initially surprised too that there needs a study to prove the obvious. But on second thoughts I realise that whether it's through doctors, surveys and studies, motivational speakers or experienced olden days parents, reminders do benefit.
I mean screen time for an hour a day is teaching my baby to speak words he didn’t know and he learns a lot, of course it’s better to do it in person in the real world but the only thing screen time is really bad for would be your eyesight or attention span, which is why it needs to be limited. I believe the Internet provides a huge amount of education opportunity for parents who don’t know how to home school their own child themselves and need more resources.
I only have our 2 year old watch EDUCATIONAL on TV nothing for entertainment and she learning alot. She is 2 now and already knows to read 3 letter words and many 4 letter words. I also do spent time with her.
Right my 15 month old recognizes site words and knows how to pronounce words thanks to Ms Rachel
After reading some numbers of comments below. We cant 100٪ blame the parents. Those associated "high quality programmes", advance technology, is still a business model marketing its business. And they succeed market it. Because some parents are lazy and burn money might solve the problem.
So does advance technology really benefits? Yes but limited to certain situations and criteria.
Whoes fault then? Everyone associated is responsible :3. We cant blame marketing business model team. They also want to survive and improve their quality if life.
Ultimately It is always a give and take gains regardless what kind of cases or any factor.
Then please provide better child care support and parents with kids who are often, just too tired after work, and mentally exhausted, as much as they still try to take care of everything.
With schools harnessing technology to teach kids, how will we regulate screen time usage? At what age is it ok to allow more screen time since our secondary school kids are using PLD more often.
Exactly, i always wonder how do we strike the right balance of limiting screen time vs allowing kids to learn how to use these technologies. I mean, let's face it, we live in a digital world.
What type of screen time each child are given plays a big role. In today's context learning and use of digital things are common in schools. Should differentiate the content that they are watching, for example away from lame and repetitive videos in comparing with more interactive educational content. Parents spending more time interacting with their children also plays a part. Parents who are also hooked onto the screen also plays a part.
as mentioned by the researchers they were focusing on children from 0-5 years of age. secondary sch abit big alr uh … not the scope of this study man
@@AR-ek1jri mean don’t give ur ipad to a 1yo and i think its good enough lmao
The doctors in the video have mentioned right that for toddlers or from 6 months to 5 yrs old there should be a limit of less than 1 hour. So for 6 till maybe 10 then it should be around 2 hours only. In excess to that there’s a high tendency of having language delay disorder.
Cutting on screen really do wonders as my 5 yrs old autistic child who was on screen most of the day till 3 years has transformed into a child who has now only a few autistic traits and doing amazing overall so there is a stong link
I would say limited screen time instead of no screen time. Sometimes u just got to choose ur battles. I would rather the kid have some screen time than an enraged pushed to a corner parent.
Okay, why are people suddenly not able to be normal parents without shoving their kid onto a screen? We haven't had tech for thousands of years yet our species still survived without it. I think our generation has become too reliant on things of convenience that we can't handle when things aren't convenient anymore. So we opt for the fastest remedy, regardless of how it might effect our kids. When did that start happening?
You do realize that putting a kid on a screen whenever they get upset will only teach them unhealthy coping habits right? They'll be forced to use tech to cope with everything because they'll have been taught nothing better.
@youtubecommentator6023 comparing our world to thousands of years ago is unrealistic. We live in a technological world where it's important for kids today to be exposed to technology. The key is moderation. Parents need to teach their children when it's to put the Ipad away and do something else.
@youtubecommentator6023 tell me you have no kids without telling you have no kids
@@youtubecommentator6023totally agreed!
@@Steph-yz4tn i see many times parents also cant even control themselves when to put the ipad away.. 😅
Can someone please share a link to the study? It's very hard to find, not even with the brochure on the website.
No proof... just speculation
Found it. Somehow I can't post the link but u can Google "Jennifer Kiing screen time". The result is the one from Annals Singapore (a local medical journal)
@@pinyiing I’m sure you can find some literature review on screen time by googling “screentime lit review”
Tis 2 ladies got kids or not in the first place??😂😂😂
The study is one sided. Could the kids already be having developmental issues hence parents in their desperation give screen time. What about the other kids that don’t have developmental issues but also get screen time. The fact is screen time captures anyone’s attention not only kids. All these studies aren’t helpful, instead of saying no screen time why don’t these doctors give an alternative solution that is just as effective and captivating as the screen, then it would help parents. All these studies just make parents feel even worse in an already difficult situation
This is the quiet part. I don’t think it was made clear how screen time affected developmentally normal or advanced children. The implication is that they had zero screen time and then that allows people to start villainising parents who give screen time in moderation.
Practicality and realism has to be brought into consideration as well. Nobody wants maximum screen time. Same applies to adults and our grandparents.
Not 100% avoidable. Screens are everywhere. Malls, Trains, Planes, Billboards, Stores, etc. It's the addiction of watching TV or phones that is the issue
I think the main thing the study is talking about it intentional screen time.
Because screen is everywhere, that is why the kids brain already used up all their screen time quota. If they go home and parents still put them on screen time, its too much for their brain to bare.
What utter BS. I'm a psychologist and I can tell you there is a difference in level of exposure , the content, and what is defined as developmental. My kids ha e screen time, they have learnt a foreign language vocabulary, it helps them learn educational materials and of course they also have down time watching something for leisure purposes. Neither are developmentally behind or have behavioural problems. In fact they are very advanced. I'm so tired of this misinformation and sudo science, studies with poor methodology but certain tones! Move over!
Yes, my son too. One time someone asked me how i teach him because he is smart. I was confused how to answer because I didn’t really teach him anything. So i said, “TV?”
Nature + nurture play an important factor..most parents just put their toddler in front of a screen to prevent them from crying/tantrum..its not a good parenting
@@renogunzddragon1900 indeed. But kids want to play all the time, and you can’t play with them all the time because you need to do household chores and time for yourself (let’s say for eating and going to the bathroom), so screen time will help. In the past people lived close to their parents and neighbors, so people could help each other and there were other kids where their kids could play with. In the past people also lived in houses with garden/backyard, so kids had a lot of room to play and run around. Things have changed now, we live in small apartments and don’t get help in raising our kids. So, giving them screen time is one form of help. Without screen time, parents could go crazy.
You could probably link myopia to excessive screen time …
@@sian22It steals time away from exposure of young developing eyes to natural sunlight and wide open views in the outdoors...
This is probably a duplicate study. The relationship between screentime and a very young child has been talked about since the pandemic due to the surge of a phenomenon called virtual autism. Everything seems the same including the conclusion wherein a baby needs to be around a real human rather than a screen that doesn't respond to the baby response.
“Study finds link”, it is a correlation and not cause and effect.
Granted, there is negative impact on excessive screen time but instead of fear mongering, why not provide solutions for parents without helper to do it all while also keeping the children alive.
The society holds parents in such a way whereby it’s damn if I don’t, damn if I do.
Well, I don’t have helper too. And my 4 years old daughter has less 30 minute screen time per day. Even if she watches TV/HP, it’s supervised and I watched together with her. And meal time is an absolute no-no for handphone usage. It can be done.
Yup agreed as per my comment above. We are in a technology era, so it’s inevitable that screens are part of our lives.
How many kids you have? Do you have a job outside? Do you have a neurodivergent kids? Are you neurodivergent? Until all those boxes are tucked off. Shut up!@@simonteo2689
I don't know how you were raised, but my parents limited my TV and "screen time" to less than a couple hours per day until I was around a teenager, which they probably should have continued limiting.
But how did you get the idea it's "damned if you do, dnes if you don't" it's pretty apparent based on experience that it's unnatural and not good for children. Who is saying you'd be a bad parent if you dont give them a lot of screen time?
@@simonteo2689 good on ya! May I know how do you manage a 17 months old who constantly wants you to carry and cry at your legs every day and you are alone from 7am to 7pm while doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning up and god forbid nature call, have lunch or even have a cup of coffee? What do you do when u need time to breathe before you loses it? Emphasising on the fact that you are alone. And eating out/take away is a luxury, unlike Singapore where buying is sometimes cheaper n easier.
This study is flawed. I know many children who had crazy amounts of screen time but could already talk very early... like 1-2 years old. And many children who have no screentime (since no phones or youtube yet in the old days) who were speech- delayed. There are so many factors and these people are blaming screen time because it's easy to do so. They also blamed video games a while back for things like this. And then also blamed vaccines. And also blamed some cartoon shows. If something new comes out, they tend to blame those all the time!
Very true. Without studying the types of content and making a sweeping statement that "screentime = bad" is flawed.
"Children need two-way communication" , then how about reading books? So reading books is bad? Having screen time does not mean they are deprived of two-way communication with their caregivers.
With proper content offered, it helps with children's development tremendously.
Such studies are just causing parents unnecessary stress.
But phones emits 300x more radiation above the safe levels. Not sure how these might affect brain development.
But in terms of content, that could be controlled.
@@AR-ek1jr Most phones are actually 100x below safe levels. You can search for CNA insider video "Is Radiation From Our Devices Dangerous?"

You are learning about screen time by having screen time.
Moderate educational screen time will do more for kids than without screen time at all….this 1 still need researcher meh?
Maybe you can highlight more about non-screen time on feeding on how unnecessary it is.
This sharing about two way communication is important as Screen time is one way and it must be supervised. Maybe can provide more helpful tips and highlight how two ways communication is positive learning for both adult and child. Also when toddlers need to go for their early check, maybe can give a booklet for new parents , a seminar for new parents to attend and to understand how screen time when unsupervised or facilitated can be harmful for the social and emotional growth.
Most common scenario observed is a device given to a child who is watching it without facilitation. Maybe you can show how preschool teachers facilitate in school. When preschoolers eat in school,they focus on eating. Also how teachers facilitate during learning center time. Im sure many parents will appreciate.
Also you can go to restaurants and have an observation. You will observe some families are stuck to their own screens, while eating and without communication.
Family eating together and conversing which means parents also shouldn’t have phones at the table. Games and interactive activities on the screen rather than videos. Parents/caregivers doing other activities during the meal time like colouring or reading or puzzles or toys for example. These not only limit the screen but also generate interaction between child and another human. All of the above are two way interaction which is what the child needs.
What about just putting music in the ipad?
Just don’t give them any screen devices will solve this problem?
But then parents on their screens excessively too 😂
This is like saying: finally research shows that the sky is blue.
This is true and I'm saddened. This is somehow rised during the pandemic and my first born was a pandemic baby and I somehow gave her some screentime that's why she's a little bit speech delay.
You throw us inside HdB. We cannot let our kids roam by themselves outside when they are so many nut case out there. Where can we go especially during the circuit breaker time. (2019-2020).
By the way .. this kid you are showing here is a neurotypical child. It’s not the same for ASD ones
We needed a study for this? I guess we should continue highlighting this. Screens are eating our brains also...
Are children following these recommendations?

King Kong on TV and it is not to throw bananas
What is the pointing us parents having great careers at the cost of making our children dumb. We need to find ways to avoid screen time.
The only difficulty is with adults who need to take a resolve to avoid giving screen.
There is a link but is is it a correlation or causation? If a kid could sit and eat by himself or herself parents will not need to give the screen in first place. I can assure you most of the mothers carry mum guilt when we give too much screen time. But could it be that those kids who are using screen during meal time are kids who are ND. Hence, the speech delays and limited social interactions are due to the fact they're ND and not caused by the screen time?
My kid watch 20 min on Monday and Wednesday. Every 3 months or so we will go the movies, didn't let them on tv before 2 years.
I'll be sure to show this to my kid...via a screen.
Wow I really need help because my son was evaluated and was told he had a language delay not autism and he has symptoms of autism with self regulation and language delay with social communication... How do I help him is there such thing as reversing the screen time related issues caused?
The screen time during feeding time could be for the parents instead of the child.

A wave of concern has emerged over the planned sale of NTUC Income to Allianz. Dr Tommy Koh, Tan Kin Lian, and Tan Suee Chieh have expressed their reservations about the deal, arguing that the core values of NTUC Income and Fairprice should remain intact.
Phones/ipad is a modern nanny.give em this,and parents can watch stupid video on tiktok or others social media,without disturb.I see little kids or toddlers do want interactions with the adults,but they just dismiss it and change another video.While waiting for food,all eyes locked on screen.mom,dad,kids.no chit chat.what a world we livin in.

Tommy Koh highlighted the origins of NTUC Income, stating, “INCOME started life as a cooperative of NTUC like Fairprice. The idea was to offer insurance to the people at affordable rates. A few years ago, it was made into a company and ceased to be a cooperative. Now we are told that it may be sold to a German insurance company.”
