CNN put out this article at 11 am on Monday January 28th. According to a new study, it has been proven
that toddlers who spend a lot of time staring at a screen, have poor
development. This affects the toddlers growth in communication, motor skills,
problem solving skills, and social skills. These studies show that toddlers
should be limited to only 1 hour of screentime per day. The article also
comments how the average child spends 5-7 hours on the screen each day which is
extremely scary. I think that this article is extremely scary, but something
that parents should read in order to protect their children. Technology can be
very dangerous and detrimental to a person’s health. I think this article is
trying to reach out to parents and warn them about the consequences of
technology on their child’s health. From reading this article if I were a
parent, I’d limit my child’s screen time for sure.
I’m glad there are articles taking attention to the effects of screen time and how severe it really is. We all need to cut down our screen time some for sure. Great work!!
ReplyDeleteI agree they need to cut down the screen time because this generation we literally run off of technology and that is not good for our learning development as kids.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, nowadays screen time for many is just too long, which could affect children later in life. ~ Stephannie Hernandez
