She literally has the side effects of Ipad children from being on her phone. How many of these did you describe with her being off her phone for 2 weeks?

Negative Effects of Excessive iPad Use

Brain Development: Prolonged exposure to iPads can hinder critical brain development in young children. Studies suggest that excessive screen time, especially for children under the age of 3, may lead to delays in communication, problem-solving skills, and fine motor abilities. Children who spend more than four hours a day on screens may show developmental delays in these areas.

Addiction and Behavioral Issues: Children can develop addictive behaviors towards screens, leading to irritability and difficulty focusing on non-screen activities. Research indicates that children who spend two or more hours a day on screens are five times more likely to exhibit symptoms associated with ADHD compared to those with limited screen time.

Physical Health Concerns: Excessive iPad use is linked to various physical health issues, including headaches, eye strain, and sleep disturbances due to blue light exposure. Additionally, it contributes to sedentary behavior, which can lead to obesity and related health problems.

Social Skills Development: Heavy reliance on screens can impede the development of social skills. Children may struggle with face-to-face interactions and may not learn essential social cues, leading to difficulties in forming relationships.
