According to the study, if parents regularly use digital devices to calm their children, that child could have issues with emotion regulation, which could lead to anger management problems in later life.
Children have to learn how to manage their negative emotions for themselves. They need the help of their parents during this learning process, not the help of a digital device.
If parents regularly offer a digital device to calm their child, the child won't learn to regulate emotions, leading to more severe emotion-regulation problems, including anger management issues.
Parents often use tablets or smartphones to divert children's attention when upset, but it's crucial to recognize that digital devices are inappropriate tools for curing tantrums, benefiting children's mental health and well-being.
