I think it’s a mistake to put even teen social media use in the same category as screens for young kids, and I suspect most problems are from the latter.
3 things should be studied:
screens for kids (regardless of app), short-form video for teens, and non-short-form peer-group social media (what teens had from 2008-2015 or so). I bet we’ll see very different impacts from each.
