Exposing young children to content with flashing lights, rapidly-changing colors, and scenes can lead to a shortened attention span, according to experts. This can have a significant impact on language development in toddlers, making it essential for parents to monitor screen time and ensure a balance between technology and interactive play. By being mindful of screen use, parents can help promote healthy language development and improve their child's overall cognitive skills, including attention and communication. Effective parenting and limited screen time can make a big difference.
