Giving a child a smartphone or tablet device to stop a tantrum can make children's behaviour worse.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have found electronic devices act as a 'quick-fix' to distract a child from their feelings rather than teaching them how to cope.
The study of 422 children and parents found physical activity is better way to help children cope with stress in the long-term.
