📱Screen Time and Child Development: What Parents Need to Know

📣 A recent study found that increased screen time for children as young as 1 year old was linked to developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills by the ages of 2 and 4.

🙏🏻While technology has its benefits, excessive screen exposure during early childhood may impact a child’s ability to express themselves, interact with others, and develop critical thinking skills.
