Arundell, Lauren, et al. "Home-based screen time behaviors amongst youth and their parents: familial typologies and their modifiable correlates." BMC Public Health, vol. 20, no. 1, 2020. Gale Academic OneFile, link.gale.com/apps/doc/A637902225/AONE?u=lincclin_mdcc&sid=AONE&xid=ddfaffa4.

Lauren Arundell et al., in "Home-based screen time behaviors amongst youth and their parents: familial typologies and their modifiable correlates" discuss how excessive screen time in children and teenagers can be influenced by parental monitoring, home environment, and role modeling. The article also argues about the different typologies within families and behaviors at home, inhibiting screen time lazy behaviors for all members of the family. Arundell et al. argue that "The family and home environment has been identified as a key but under-utilized setting for interventions to reduce children's screen-based sedentary behaviors" (2).

I plan to use this article to support my argument that children are influenced by their parents, and the environment in the house, whether they have fewer devices, and rules imposed. It is interesting to read how it shows the different typologies and environments that could influence children's use of screen devices.

Morin, Amy. “How Too Much Screen Time Can Hurt Kids and Their Families.” Verywell Family, 27 Sept. 2020, www.verywellfamily.com/the-negative-effects-of-too-much-screen-time-1094877.

In the article "How Too Much Screen Time Can Hurt Kids and Their Families", Amy Morin explains that there are many negative effects for children when spending too much time on the screen, for example, educational problems. She also explains the use of rules in the house for children to help reduce screen time.

Morin argues, "The advances in technology mean today's parents are the first generation who have to figure out how to limit screen time for children. While digital devices can provide endless hours of entertainment and they can offer educational content, unlimited screen time can be harmful".

I will use this source to emphasize the consequences of screen-use for an extended period may be dangerous. It is important to show that not only children are responsible for the management of social networks and different devices, but also that parents have to be concerned about what their respective children do.

Nikken, Peter, and Marjon Schols. "How and why parents’ guide the media use of young children." Journal of child and family studies 24.11 (2015): 3423-3435.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10826-015-0144-4

Peter Nikken and Marjon Schols, authors of "How and Why Parents Guide the Media Use of Young Children", argue that parental mediation is a positive strategy to control social media over children and teenagers. One of them is to limit the screen time during the day in order to do more creative activities. Nikken and Schols claim that "Parental mediation research has convincingly shown that parents vary their mediation strategies in accordance with their views on various effects of media content on children. Parents who are concerned about risks and harm more often try to protect their children by monitoring, applying restrictions on media use, supervising the child, and by critically talking to the child about media content".

This article is necessary to enhance my research and demonstrate that a parent guide and strategies are vital to reducing the time children and teenagers spend on their devices, such as "posing restrictions on time and content, usually referred to as restrictive mediation".

Peiró-Velert, Carmen, et al. “Screen Media Usage, Sleep Time and Academic Performance in Adolescents: Clustering a Self-Organizing Maps Analysis.” PLOS ONE, vol. 9, no. 6, June 2014, pp. 1–9. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0099478.

Peiró-Velert et al., in "Screen Media Usage, Sleep Time and Academic Performance in Adolescents: Clustering a Self-Organizing Maps Analysis" discusses how several studies demonstrate that most of the youngest adolescents have better academic performance due to better sleep, less use of social media, and screen time. Peiró-Velert et al. argue that "Screen Media Usage interferes with academic activities, such as studying and reading books, hence having negative consequences on academic performance" (1).

I want to include this article in my research to support the point that screen media usage affects the reading time, academic activities, and sleeping time of children. Furthermore, it can cause obesity due to the lack of interest in doing physical activities and spending time on the screen.

"Screen time: how much is too much?" Nature, vol. 565, no. 7737, 2019, p. 265+. Gale Academic OneFile, link.gale.com/apps/doc/A573274195/AONE?u=lincclin_mdcc&sid=AONE&xid=3b0a2f3a. Accessed 28 Mar. 2021.

The article "Screen time: how much is too much?" explains that the number of parents who are worried about their children's media consumption is growing, also saying that the dangers of social media for children's mental health is significant. This article also mentions how the majority of children and adolescents have access to almost any technological system and how it affects them. "Screen time: how much is too much?" points out that "Nearly all US teenagers say they have access to a smartphone, and about half say they are online almost constantly".

The use of this source will be helpful in comprehending the lack of well-being caused by the use of technology, and how the digital platform is changing everyone’s life.
