Study finds solitary screen time may worsen language and behavioural issues in young children
A study found that early language difficulties in children can lead to social and emotional problems, with excessive screen time exacerbating these issues. Researchers observed that unsupervised screen activities can hinder crucial socialization opportunities, impacting children's ability to develop communication and relationship-building skills. This highlights the importance of balancing screen time with direct human interaction for healthy child development.
