Video Overload: Is It Hurting Kids' Education?
ChinaTue Nov 26 2024
Have you ever wondered if watching too many videos is bad for kids? A recent study in China found that the more videos kids watch, the worse their grades get. It's not just about the time spent, but also how it messes with their focus. What's surprising is that parents' phone habits can make things even worse. Kids tend to mimic their parents, which can lead to big problems with their schoolwork. The study suggests that parents, teachers, and video platforms should work together to help kids stay focused on their studies, not just their screens.
It's not just about the duration of video watching, but how it affects their ability to concentrate. If parents are glued to their phones, kids are likely to do the same.

The study recommends that everyone should collaborate to help kids stay focused on learning, rather than just being glued to their screens.
