ABSTRACT

Currently, with the technological era, screens play a fundamental role in society, including children and adolescents, who in the last decade have increased exponentially their daily use. The lack of information generates that parents and caregivers allow the use of these devices from an early age, believing that educational programs will help in the development of the child. Excessive screen time has been associated with alterations in various areas of health, such as: sedentary lifestyle, changes in weight, diet, sleep, development and psychological well-being; influencing the development of the same factors both internal and external to the family environment. That is why the population must be made aware of the negative implications of the excessive use of screens, as well as the importance of interaction with the real world for the proper development of the child.
