A new global study of over 80,000 parent reports shows that passive high screen time in children aged 4–6 is linked to lower well-being. The study, published in April 2025, found that higher screen time correlates with issues in psychosocial well-being, social functioning, parent-child relationships, and behavioral functioning. However, the researchers emphasize that the type and context of digital content also play significant roles in these outcomes. They suggest that parents can mitigate negative effects by moderating screen time, choosing high-quality educational content, and engaging in tech activities with their children. (Medical Xpress)

Lost in Digital? 4 in 10 Teens Say They’re Not Ready

Jul 9, 2025

A new UK report reveals that 37% of young people aged 16–30 are worried they lack the digital skills needed to secure future jobs, while 41% say they don’t even know which digital skills are most important. Despite growing up with smartphones and social media, many teens still struggle with basic digital literacy—like evaluating online content, using productivity tools, or understanding how AI works. This digital confidence gap risks leaving thousands of young people behind in an economy where nearly every profession demands some level of digital know-how. Experts stress the need for structured, inclusive digital education programs—starting as early as primary school!
