Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Young children are increasingly exposed to the internet from an early age.
  • Vulnerability to internet addiction in children is linked to personal, familial, and school influences.
  • Internet addiction poses significant risks to children's long-term health and well-being.

Approach:

  • A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted.
  • Literature was searched across four major databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and PsycINFO.
  • Fourteen primary studies on interventions for preventing or reducing internet addiction in children under 12 were analyzed.

Key Points:

  • Identified interventions include children's education, parenting strategies, physical activity, and counseling.
  • Ten interventions demonstrated small-to-medium effect sizes in preventing or reducing internet addiction.
  • Enhancing children's digital literacy and promoting real-world activities showed greater efficacy than simply reducing screen time.

Conclusions:

  • Future interventions must be sustainable, accessible, and culturally sensitive.
  • Developing digital tools and social support systems can enhance intervention effectiveness.
  • Collaboration between policymakers, experts, and developers is crucial for creating healthier digital environments for children.
