A new study found the brains of 3-to-5-year-olds who overused screens were not as developed in areas needed for language, writing and cognitive skills

Screen time use by infants, toddlers and preschoolers has exploded over the last decade, concerning experts about the impact of television, tablets and smartphones on these critical years of rapid brain development.

Now a new study scanned the brains of children 3 to 5 years old and found those who used screens more than the recommended one hour a day without parental involvement had lower levels of development in the brain's white matter -- an area key to the development of language, literacy and cognitive skills.Higher screen use was associated with less well-developed white matter tracts throughout the brain.

I believe it

No duh

Interesting article! And Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself

Some one needs to do this study on all brains under 50!

All folks including children are exposed to much, much too much EMFs. The electric vehicles are transmitting EMS from huge batteries right up passengers/drivers anuses.

Doesn't Finland use tablets in primary school to teach calculus? More important than the fact that the children are using tech is that parents use the tech as a babysitter.

THAT EXPLAINS TRUMP - ALL HE DOES IS TWEET. HE CAN NOT READ A 15 PAGE REPORT FROM INTEL - IMAGINE IF YOU HAVE HIM A 200 PAGE REPORT ON SAY, MILITARY OPERATIONS. HE WOULDN'T HAVE TIME TO TWEET.

That Explains It

The impeachment is baseless, has no merit as such the impeachment proceedings are illegal. The perpetrators should be expelled from Congress

Hell I'm 65 and tried to swipe my Flip Phone yesterday, hahahahahaa Dumb is just dumb sometimes.

But other areas of the brain exploded with activity

Except. My 3 year old son straight faced looked over his tablet and told me “nap time is popaganda.” (Propaganda) a few months back and I’m still processing that moment.

Evidently your staff had a lot of access to screens as children

Explains all the shitty reporting these days.

CNN complicit with ABC to protect Pedophiles for Politics. They refuse to cover the Epstein scandal

Do we seriously still need 'studies' to prove this?

Babysitter screens

You really needed a study for that ? Have you seen the social skills of today’s youth ?

Deputado Domingos Sávio, votei em você e espero que me represente votando a favor da prisão em segunda instância. Nós, eleitores estamos de olho nos nossos representantes. 2022 vem aí. Não perca meu voto.

That's not how things work. Your study sucks 🤦‍♂️

Explain why my three year old niece is a damn wizard on an iPad, that I know for a fact would take a Boomer a week to turn on.

I totally disagree, my 5 yo grandson has been using a tablet since age 3 he's one of the smartest kids in his kindergarten class, this is his 1st year and he's already reading, writing and doing simple math😁

The study isn't large enough and confuses correlation with causation. They don't have any idea what they're talking about. This is just confirmation bias because it started with supporting a policy conclusion and look, it does. Notice they didn't look at all screen time.

Don't need to be cognitive... Just use Google

Correlation or causation?

liberalgoddess But will they be more prepared to excell in their own societies in the future? Remember your mom making you come in to do your homework instead of playing baseball or football? Some moms didn’t do that. Just saying....

guypbenson Guy did you read the story? The study is weak.

Okay boomer 🙄

It's really a huge problem happening on every kids and parents ……in our society.

Still better journalists than CNN even at this tender age

Children with speech deficits tend to be overusers of screen because they have a reading learning style, not a conversational or Socratic learning style. Over use of screens is indicative not causal, similarly book readers could be said to be developmentally slow. Laughable study

Anyone surprised? ... Anyone? ☹️ ... 🤨

'Associations have also been shown between excessive screen time and language delay, poor sleep, impaired executive function, and a decrease in parent-child engagement.' Maybe it's the lack of parent-child engagement that's causing everything else.

Hence why leftist are dumb.

Looks like a newly numbed demographic for you, CNN.

What if you are 70ish and tweet all day long?

I was wondering what happened to millennials. Ok.

لايعني ذالك أن الأمر إيجابي والسبب التطور سيحدث في سن معين دون الأجهزه اللوحيه ولكن الكمبيوتر سرع من التطور وقد لايكون فى مصلحه العقول مستقبلا (أنشتاين:دارون:توماس أدسون:وغيرهم من النوابغ هل كان لديهم أجهزه وشبكه نت)

👆

Why do you think no one in Silicon Valley allows there kids anywhere near a screen

All the more reason they need cell phones

I wonder if this study was biased and looked at people of lower socioeconomic people. Children from that section of the population already disadvantaged.

ah yes-the Instagram Generation....

My daughter had an iPad since before she turned two years old and is at the top of her class. Also, she is up for an award in the county. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Specially someone like Richard Spencer is on them. Please do better for the public.

What about 18 - 22 year olds?

Hmm....shocker.....LOL

Is anyone shocked?
