This is the conclusion of a survey of
2400 children in Canada. The amount of
time two- and three-year-olds spend in
front of a screen has a negative effect on
their language and problem-solving skills,
as well as their physical coordination.
dChildren who spent a lot of time in
front of a screen at the ages of two and
three had worse test results at three and
five than other children. If children are
looking at screens, they’re not doing
physical activities. They’re also missing
opportunities to talk and interact
with people.
eThe study found that children watched
screens for an average of 17.09 hours per
week at age two, 24.99 at age three, and
10.85 at age five.
