A study found that over 75% of parents use media during family meals, with children aged 4-10 also engaging in media use nearly 70% of the time. The research, published in JAMA Pediatrics, highlights the prevalence of smartphone and TV use during shared family meals, which may hinder emotional connections despite the known benefits of family dining.
