Electronic media exposure and neurodevelopment in children under 5 years of age: an updated evidence-based narrative review

Soumi Kundu, Sudip Bhattacharya, Rajan Kumar, Kusum Kumari, Chandrima Biswas, Asha Premlata Omega Oraon, Abhimanyu Ganguly

Excessive digital media exposure before 5 years is consistently associated with poorer language development, attention, executive functioning, sleep quality, and socioemotional development. The adverse effects are particularly evident when screen exposure replaces caregiver-child interaction and active play. High-quality educational content combined with caregiver coviewing may mitigate some of these risks. Pediatric counseling should emphasize age-appropriate media use, family media plans, and balanced daily routines.
