Habit most parents do is destroying children's brains, study suggests

Parents who frequently use their phone or tablet around their children may be damaging their offspring's brains and sowing the seeds of mental health problems, data has suggested.

Australian researchers analysed data from 15,000 children under five and found those whose parents had used technology in front of them performed poorly on planning, organising and attention tasks.

These children were also found to have more problems with sharing as well as regulating their emotions.
