Niños en la era digital: Importancia de una orientación guiada en la familia para el uso adecuado de la tecnología

Abstract

Abstract: As access to new digital media becomes easier, they become more indispensable in our daily lives.Their use has increased in recent years and exposure to them is becoming more and more common from an early age. With the aim of updating the recommendations for the use of information technology in schoolchildren and adolescents, and designing an orientation guide for the family. A narrative review of the literature was carried out through databases such as PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, and a manual search was carried out in platforms such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, America Academy of Pediatrics and Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría. Among the results, it is evident that the recommendations focus on: limiting the time of use, establishing schedules and strategies to ensure online safety. It is concluded that currently there is an inadequate management of technology in the pediatric age, which brings with it harmful effects on health. Therefore, rules should be established for the correct use oriented towards children and parents.
