Abstract This study explored how screen exposure relates to children’s executive functioning and behavioural difficulties in the 3–10-year age range in the Coimbatore region. A sample of 50 children participated, and data were collected using three instruments: a self-developed 15-item Screen Time Exposure Scale, the Child Executive Functioning Inventory (CHEXI), and the Problem Behaviour Questionnaire (PBQ). The study followed a correlational design to explore associations among the variables, along with gender comparisons using independent t-tests. Results showed that most children reported moderate to a considerable proportion of children showed extensive screen use alongside notable behavioural challenges. Correlation results indicated that greater screen exposure was linked with reduced executive functioning, while a strong positive association was found between screen time and behavioural difficulties. Additionally, executive functioning was significantly negatively correlated with the behavioural difficulties. Gender analysis showed that girls performed better on executive functions measures, while boys exhibited higher behavioural problem scores, although screen time levels did not differ significantly between genders. Overall, the study underscores the significance balanced screen use and its implications for healthy cognitive and behavioural growth in children behavioural development. The findings emphasize the necessity of ensuring parental monitoring and awareness regarding technology use in early childhood.
