Children's screen time (i.e., time spent using computers, televisions, mobile devices) has rapidly increased with the development of mobile technology, and this increase has become a matter of serious concern for teachers, parents, family life educators, psychologists, and other health professionals. High usage rates (more than 2 hours per day) have been associated with low‐quality sleep, language acquisition difficulties, and attentional problems in young children. Results of experimental trials to limit screen time have been mixed. Interventions may be improved with guidance from a systematic theoretical framework focused directly on children's well‐being. This article proposes a multifaceted goal‐theoretic approach to reducing screen time through involvement in alternative activities. It is proposed that a focus on approach goals involving shared activities that are constitutive of children's well‐being can naturally displace excessive screen time, enhance child development, reduce parental stress, and improve familial well‐being.

父母屏幕时间监控行为的目标理论框架

随着移动技术的发展，儿童的屏幕播放时间（即，使用计算机，电视，移动设备所花费的时间）迅速增加，并且这种增加已成为教师，父母，家庭生活教育者，心理学家和其他健康人士严重关注的问题。专业人士。高使用率（每天超过2个小时）与低质量的睡眠，语言习得困难以及幼儿的注意力问题有关。限制筛选时间的实验性试验结果参差不齐。在直接关注儿童福祉的系统理论框架的指导下，干预措施可能会得到改善。本文提出了一种多角度的目标理论方法，通过参与替代活动来减少筛选时间。
