The figures from the previous year indicated that 54% of children between 3 and 5 years old have their own iPad and spend almost 3 hours a day watching videos. Based on this, we can conclude the following – the exposure that minors have to this type of tech is pervasive in our society. However, there is no need to worry too much as there are some recommendations that can be helpful. One of them is to regulate access to the digital media so that children reduce their use such as a parent can insist that now more than one hour of programming per day is watched.

The reasons for limiting the use of iPads and mobile devices are varied, among them are that they can negatively influence the parent/child relationship and the creation of social bonds, they can develop addictive tendencies towards technology, it can impact their social lives and general health and  can even lead to child tantrums.
