In an increasingly digital world, early and excessive exposure to screens represents a major challenge for children’s cognitive, emotional and social development.

This syndrome, described as early as 1998 by Linda Pagani, is becoming a growing concern among health professionals and educators. Parents sometimes fail to grasp the extent and impact of the omnipresence of screens.

This phenomenon is characterized by prolonged and inappropriate use of digital devices from an early age, with potentially harmful consequences for children’s well-being. In this dossier, Dr PAYA explores and presents the various aspects of this syndrome, its causes and effects, and strategies to prevent and manage it, in order to promote a healthy balance in the use of screens among the younger generation.
