Children and youth’s time spent in front of screens – such as televisions, computers, tablets, gaming consoles, and smartphones – continues to increase screentime and new technology has shaped our daily life, with both positive and negative aspects. This pervasive sedentary behaviour has raised concerns among parents, health care professionals, educators, and researchers about the effects of screen time on young people’s well-being. Increased screen time (ST) has been linked with unfavourable body composition, higher cardiometabolic risk, unfavourable behavioural conduct, lower fitness, and lower self-esteem in children . Further studies required to investigate more in depth the psychological aspects of excessive use of screen and to provide a standardized and operational definition. Improvement of child behaviour is not completely depending on classroom educational teaching but mostly relies on good conduct, practical wisdom which is safe, can use long-term and of nonpharmacological approach, thereby apt to behave properly and tackle day to day problems with ease. The results indicate that high screen time on all three screen types (smartphone, computer, and TV) was associated with an increased probability of mental health problems among girls.
