Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between the home-rearing environment (HRE), children's screen time, and preschoolers' academic and behavioral competence in China. Findings reveal a positive association between high-quality HRE and better language/cognitive skills, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and fewer problem behaviors. Screen time plays an indirect mediating role, with better HREs correlating with less screen time and subsequently improved outcomes. However, this mediating effect was not observed for problem behaviors. The study underscores the importance of enriching home environments and managing screen time for optimal child development.
