The aim of the Canadian Paediatric Society’s Centre for Healthy Screen Use is to support health professionals, policymakers, and families in helping children and youth navigate digital environments.
People who make decisions that affect children and youth—in homes, schools, heath care settings, communities, and public policy spaces—need current evidence to prioritize health and development. Thoughtful and informed decision-making will help promote healthy screen use and minimize the negative effects on child and youth physical, mental, social-emotional, and developmental health.
