“Exposing young children to screens is a public health problem.” The statement slams. Especially falling from a study published by the agency Public Health France in its weekly epidemiological bulletin of January 14.

Questionable even if one thing is certain: the exposure of toddlers to screens is now daily, almost trivialized. In cars, screens embedded in the seats are no longer rare.
