The research is still growing, and most of it shows a link rather than a cause. It's enough for a lot of parents to want a say.
Across 71 studies and 98,299 people, heavier short-video use was linked to poorer attention and self-control.
Nguyen et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2025In 1,052 elementary students, more short-video use went with weaker attention and lower grades.
Gong & Tao, PLOS ONE, 2024After 9 minutes of a fast-paced cartoon, 4-year-olds did worse on thinking and self-control tasks than kids who drew.
Lillard & Peterson, Pediatrics, 2011You're always the one in charge
