O uso inadequado das tecnologias digitais na primeira infância e sua relação com a desatenção

Abstract

This research discusses the growing impact of digital technologies on children's development, especially in early childhood, emphasizing the effects of excessive use on attention and development. In addition to examining the relationship between this exposure and symptoms such as inattention, it also investigates other aspects of child development, such as digital dependency, self-regulation skills, cognition, language, and social interaction. The potential negative effects of excessive screen time are highlighted, such as information overload, device addiction, and interference with cognitive and linguistic development. To conduct this research, an exploratory systematic review approach was adopted. Considering the importance of promoting a balanced approach to digital technology use, this research emphasizes the need to limit screen time, supervise accessed content, and promote other forms of entertainment and learning that stimulate natural child development. Thus, the research seeks to provide insights into a relevant contemporary issue, emphasizing the importance of a conscious and guided approach to digital technology use in early childhood to ensure healthy and comprehensive child development in an increasingly digitalized context.
