Does Screen Time Affect Children's Development?

The potential adversity of screen time on a child's development has become a concern in the modern world. Recent studies have shown that a substantial amount of on-screen exposure can cause developmental delays in young children.

According to scientific literature, about 1 in 4 school-going children suffer from developmental delays/deficits, such as difficulty communication, language problem, impaired motor skills, and emotional deficit. Excessive screen time is considered as one of the crucial risk factors that can potentially hamper the early developmental processes in children.

Such developmental delays can significantly impact the learning process, as well as serve as a barrier to a child's academic success.
