Tablets, toddlers, and talk: Is screen time masking developmental delays?
Indian pediatric guidelines recommend no screen time for children under two, and a maximum of one hour for those aged two to five, emphasizing co-viewing. Excessive screen use can delay speech and language development, leading to behavioral issues. While "virtual autism" is a concern, for neurodivergent children, screens may be a consequence, not a cause, of their traits.
