Description
In today's episode we're exploring the concerning link between unsupervised digital use and behavioral issues in young children.
New research highlights how solo screen time acts as a "unique peril" for preschoolers who already face language or communication challenges.
We discuss how even short periods of solitary TV or tablet use can worsen emotional regulation and social development.
You’ll discover why these digital devices often replace the vital, back-and-forth human interactions that children need to build vocabulary and self-control.
