By analyzing the data gathered from over 4，500U.

61、 S. kids aged 8 to 11 between 2016 and 2017，Jeremy Walsh，a postdoctoral fellow with the CHEO Research Institute in Ottawa， found that too much “screen time” could be harming your childs intelligence.

66、s they are using at once. Concerned parents also should preview games or apps before letting their child play， seek out more interactive(交互的)options that engage the childs mind， and use parental controls to block or filter content and limit screen time. 2020-2021学年第一学期汾湖高级中学阶段性教学质量检测高二英语10月月考参考答案202
