The following assessment tools were used. Including digital media use survey at home (refer to Surveillance of digital-Media habits in earLy childhood Questionnaire, SMALLQ™), Chinese version of parental child activity scale (Werry-Weiss Peters Activity Scale Chinese version, WWPAS), parental stress scale brief Form (Parenting Stress Index: Short form, PSI/SF)
