Children are not necessarily addicted to screens

DISTRACT research assistant Anne Marie Hastrup Kristensen published an opinion piece in the national Danish Newspaper Jyllands-Posten entitled "Children are not necessarily addicted to screens just because they spend a day in front of them" (Danish: "Børn er ikke nødvendigvis afhængige, fordi de bruger en hel dag foran computeren").

In the piece, Anne Marie cautions that although Danish children's digital screen consumption might be high compared to other countries, this does not legitimize talk of addiction as such.
