Child psychologist explains "brain rot" and its impact on children's well-being

Child psychologist Dr. Erica Lee states "brain rot" is unhealthy when screen time negatively impacts children's sleep, diet, and mood. Excessive screen use can lead to crankiness and lethargy in children. The term "brain rot" describes a decline in attention span and mental function due to extensive media exposure, particularly short-form videos. Parents can help by ensuring tech-free times and encouraging physical activity and real-world interactions for children's well-being.
