Did you know that early exposure and prolonged exposure to screens changes the actual physical development of your child’s brain? (And not for the better 👎)
As a parent, it’s a tricky world navigating tech boundaries (we get it!) But educating yourself and implementing good habits from early on is the key to success!
‼️Important Takeaways‼️
- Avoid portable screens(phones and tablets): they distract the child from real life interactions and language opportunities or become the child’s unhealthy coping mechanism during instances of dysregulation.
- “Educational” apps are typically not age appropriate for young children and do not have proper research proving the benefits.
- TV can be a great language opportunity with quality programs and shared language experience between the child and adult.
- Language is best learned through human interaction and play!
