Introduction Increased screen-based media accessibility has stirred public health concern on possible effects of their usage among young children in the vital phase of development. World Health Organization (WHO) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) call for limitation of screen time to an hour per day for children aged two to five, whereas children below the age of two are not encouraged of any screen-based media exposure. This study is aimed to determine the impact of excessive screen time on early childhood social emotional development. Methodology Study design: Cross-sectional. Sample size: 600 respondents (Malaysian parents of children aged 18 and 36 months old). Study sites: Government Health Clinics in Gombak, Selangor. Data collection: Self-administered questionnaire. Main independant variable: Average child screen time/day calculated using Global Time Estimate method based on media usage (television, computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet/iPad and game console) on a typical day. Excessive screen time classification is based on WHO and AAP recommendations. Main dependant variable: Social emotional development measured using 'Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional-2' (Validated into Malay language). Social emotional development scoring is classified dichotomously into normal and poor mastery. Data analysis: Multivariate Logistic Regression using SPSS software. Results Mean screen time recorded is 141.7 minutes (SD 131.6). 82.2% toddlers did not adhere to screen time recommendations. Screen time is found to be a significant independent predictor of poor mastery of social emotional development among toddlers; adjusted for birth weight, prematurity, maternal education, non parental care and six months of exclusive breastfeeding; (Adjusted odds ratio 2.50, 95% CI: 1.11 – 5.62, p-value 0.027). Conclusion Displacement of parent-child interaction and active play through which toddlers learn, imitate and attain competencies occurs due to excessive screen time. Outcome of this study is hoped to pave the ...

Currently university students live a series of problems, both external and internal to the educational institution that induce them to dropout school and/or poor academic performance and to highly vulnerable social development in the professional, work and even personal context. In the external context: violence, loss of values, injustices and even alterations in the order of the ecological system among others and in the context within the educational institution can be mentioned the low motivation of the student, the lack of knowledge of study techniques, the weakness of knowledge prior to the corresponding point of his school career, the low resilience to the changes presented in his personal context; factors (all of them) that keep him in a critical situation of stress. The purpose of this study was to analyse the need for an integral formation that can be implemented and endowed with socio-emotional tools to the student. Through the documentary analysis it is found that from the socioformation each one of the actors of the educational process must form a community in continuous learning that lives the elements of an emotional education that contributes to the social.
