From the post:

>A study by a Singapore government agency has found that children exposed to high levels of screen time before age two showed brain development changes linked to slower decision-making and higher anxiety in adolescence, adding to concerns about early digital exposure. The study was conducted by a team within the country’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research and the National University of Singapore, and published in The Lancet’s eBioMedicine open access journal. It tracked 168 children for more than a decade, and conducted brain scans on them at three time points.

So parents who neglect their kids to screens bring up anxious kids. The screen time is probably just the tip of the iceberg of their bad parenting.

Yeah, clearly they were testing for screens specifically because "boogeyman". The reality is that this is just shitty parents being shitty parents. It would not have mattered if it is today or 100 years ago. Shitty parents end up with kids that can't function properly (in most cases).
