Mounting evidence shows screens aren't great for kids. And a new study has revealed that even as infants, too much screen time can impact executive function development. Experts explain what to do instead.

"Emma Lembke, 19, is encouraging her peers to reduce their time on the internet and rethink their relationship to it ..."
