What the research says

There's no research on Skibidi Toilet. The American Academy of Pediatrics' 2016 guidance for ages 2 to 5 suggests limiting screen use to about an hour a day of high-quality programs and watching together with your child. For school-age children, it suggests consistent limits on time and type of media, so that screens don't replace sleep, physical activity, and other healthy habits.

A 2022 meta-analysis of 87 studies with about 159,000 children ages 12 and under found that more screen time was linked to slightly more behavior problems; the link was small and doesn't show cause and effect. More in screen time and child development.
