Is too much screen time dangerous?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

In 2000 the Âé¶¹Éç embarked on a ground-breaking television project to follow the lives of 25 babies from across the UK called, Child of Our Time. The children are now 16 - free to live by themselves, get married, pay taxes and even have children of their own. Jane speaks to Professor Tanya Byron, who worked with the teenagers, about what evidence, if any, is there to support the argument that too much screen time is harmful to young people.
