WHO and Indian Academy of Paediatrics guidance recommends no screen exposure for children under 2 and a supervised one-hour daily limit for children aged 2 to 5. In India, more than half of children younger than 5 exceed screen time recommendations. Excessive screen exposure in early childhood is associated with developmental, behavioural, sleep and obesity-related concerns. The study examined caregivers of children younger than 5 whose screen exposure exceeded WHO age-specific recommendations.
