Problematic Screen Media Use, ADHD, ParentingAbstract
Problematic screen media use among children is on the rise across the globe and is of greater concern among mental health professionals. This report discusses a case of an 8-year-old boy with ADHD-like features due to prolonged screen exposure that was worsened further because of unhealthy parenting practices. Available guidelines emphasise parent-based interventions for children below 12 years of age, whereas a combination of individual and family-based interventions is recommended for children above 12 years.
