A new study published in JAMA Pediatrics finds that adults spend more time on their phones during family dinner than children do, and nearly 70% of children used some electronic device during their last family meal. Lead author Cecilia Sada Garibay said parents should set a better example.
A study published in JAMA Pediatrics, reported by NTD Hebrew, found that parents outpace children in phone use during family dinners. Researchers observed that adults spent more time on devices at the table, with nearly 70% of children using some form of media during their most recent family meal. Lead author Cecilia Sada Garibay commented that parents, who should serve as role models, are failing to set boundaries. The study adds to ongoing discourse about digital habits and their impact on family cohesion, though no specific Israeli data or public-health recommendations were included in the report.
