Major review finds link between early screen exposure and developmental concerns
A major UK review found that screen exposure before age two is linked to developmental concerns, including sleep problems, delayed language, and behavioral challenges. Over 70% of babies and toddlers use digital devices, with some spending hours daily on screens. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding most screen time for children under 18-24 months.
