There is no consensus about the consequences of early exposure to digital media on children’s health and wellness, but some researchers warn about the need for adult supervision to screen out content and set up exposure rules. Babies need to explore the environment to develop new cognitive, sensory and language skills. Since our capacity to adapt swiftly to a changing environment develops as we grow up, early disturbance in the development of executive function may cause short-, mid-, and long-term consequences. Misuse of ICT has a negative impact on brain neuroplasticity, which will eventually lead to low self-esteem, poor cognitive performance or maladaptive behaviour, depending on age and related skills. It might also affect sight, sleep, weight, development, executive function and behaviour. Adults’ commitment to responsible use of technology tools is essential to ensure the optimal development of children born and raised in digital times.
