Abstract: Research Findings: This study explores the relationship between screen exposure and child development by analyzing longitudinal data collected over four waves of surveys, following young children from 4–29 months of age in the Qinba mountainous region of northwest China. Assessments administered to children included the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III (BSID-III), the Ages & Stages Questionnaires: Social Emotional (ASQ: SE), the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV), and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The data analysis yielded several noteworthy findings: (1) a substantial proportion of infants exceeded the screen time recommendations set by American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). (2) a significant positive correlation emerged between screen exposure and children's cognitive development, juxtaposed with a negative correlation with their non-cognitive development; and (3) variations in the impact of screen exposure on child development were observed across subgroups, including gender, siblings, caregivers' education, and types of caregivers. Practice or Policy: The findings of this study highlight the nuanced effects of screen exposure on children, advocating for personalized and restrictive screen viewing plans that parents can tailor for their children development.
