Introduction: The incorporation of technology into children's routine originated the so-called cyber-childhood, bringing with it advantages, as well as harms that must be debated, thus, questions arise about adequate screen time and the consequences of exacerbated use. Objective: To analyze the scientific literature on the harmful effects of using electronic screens in childhood. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, where the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS/MeSH) were used: screen time; child and child development combined with the Boolean AND operator. The research was carried out in July 2023, in the databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MEDLINE) Latin American Literature of Health Sciences (LILACS) and PubMed, in the period from 2018 to 2023. Results: The final selection had 17 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria determined and were categorized into: year of publication; journal title; article title; language and main results. Discussion: The analysis of the selected articles showed that the repercussions caused by exposure to screens are presented in different ways, paying attention to: language development, cognition, socio-emotional aspects, attention, eating habits, sleep, school performance, Body Mass Index, among others. It also brings co-visualization as an interactive means of exposure to the screen. Final considerations: The study revealed an association between screen use time and consequent harm that clearly affects the neuropsychomotor development of these children, relating to sedentary lifestyle, introversion, poor sleep quality and the manifestation of diseases such as obesity, depression and anxiety.
