💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📱🧠 An eight-year Finnish #study followed 260 #children to see how physical activity and #screentime related to later cognitive processing. More screen time correlated with better #teen cognitive performance, tied to the type of screen use rather than duration. Physical activity benefits also differed by gender, with light activity helping working #memory in #girls. 👉 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260815064803.htm #development #cognition #kids #science #research #education #parenting #brain #health #adolescence #finland #pediatrics

Researchers say the key may be balancing physical activity with screen activities that encourage learning, creativity, and active thinking.

Imagine being able to prevent yourself from spending too much time on Loops by setting a screen time limit. It's coming soon! Btw, it will take 24 hours for increase duration limit changes, but shorter duration limits will take effect immediately. #ethicalApps #mentalHealth #safety #loops
