Research, including a JAMA Pediatrics study, shows that toddlers with higher screen time face developmental delays in communication, problem-solving, and social skills.

The study found that 1-year-olds with increased screen exposure were more likely to show delays in speech, fine motor skills, and social development by ages 2-4, with a dose-response link: more screen time correlates with greater delays.

Pediatric expert Dr. Cindy Gellner highlights that screens displace crucial interactive play, hands-on exploration, and live communication essential for early development.

Even educational shows like Sesame Street or Bluey can’t fully replicate these benefits, especially compared to often non-educational content.

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises no screens before 18 months and a one-hour daily limit for ages 2-5.

Experts urge parents to prioritize active engagement—talking, reading, and playing—to nurture language, problem-solving, and motor skills during these critical years.

By Nurture with OT Nur

As an occupational therapist, I believe strongly that there is no true substitute for occupational therapy. I have seen many families try to find easier or faster ways to help their children. Sometimes, they turn to behavioral therapy alone or put their hopes in playgroups as the main support. While these can have their own value, they cannot take the place of a well-designed occupational therapy program.

Occupational therapy is different because it looks at the whole child — their body, mind, senses, daily living skills, and how they connect with the world around them. It is not just about following instructions or playing in a group. OT builds strong foundations in movement, attention, sensory processing, and independence that set children up for real success.

When children miss out on occupational therapy, it is not just a short-term gap. It can mean lost opportunities for them to develop important life skills, adapt to challenges, and reach higher levels of independence as they grow. Choosing other options instead of OT might seem helpful in the moment, but it can hold children back from reaching their fullest potential.

Behavioral therapy and playgroups have their place, but they do not replace what occupational therapy can do. If you want your child to build a solid path toward higher functioning and real independence, there is simply no substitute for OT.
