Question
My son is three years old and spends every day sitting in front of the computer watching animation videos. Is this harmful? Has any treatment been carried out in the past, and what was the outcome? I want to know what problems this might cause.
Answer
Children should not spend more than two hours a day watching animation videos at the age of two, and it’s best to take a break every half hour. Watching for extended periods is not only bad for the eyes but also harmful to mental health and can lead to various damages such as decreased immunity. At this age, a child’s bones are still developing, and prolonged computer use and incorrect posture can affect normal bone growth. It is recommended to take the child outdoors for more physical activities or engage in other games to distract from the time spent watching the computer.
