Indian Kids Getting 2X More Screen Time Than Safe | Experts Warn Of Cognitive Risks

A recent study reveals that Indian kids are getting way more screen time than they should be getting, way above the safety limit - twice the limit. An average child under the age of 5 spends 2.2 hours in front of the screen daily. Experts and author of the book 'Rhythmic Parenting' Salone Zutshi and Aparjita Sadhu explain how overexposure can even lead to social autism-like symptoms in kids. The solution? Tech-free zones, nature play, and parents leading by example, says educator Aprajita Sadhu. As addiction in kids worsens, urgent awareness and change are the need of the hour. This is more than a parenting choice — it’s a health crisis in the making.
