Yale Child Study Center psychologist says face-to-face interaction between parent and child is crucial
The research found one-year-olds who were exposed to more screen time than their peers showed delays at age two in the development of fine motor and personal and social skills.
The study did not find that the screen time caused the developmental delays, but, found an association between babies who were exposed to more screen time and delays in their development. That pattern could well be explained by the value of face-to-face time for young children, experts said.
