Screen time at age 1 year and communication and problem-solving developmental delay at 2 and 4 years

This investigation delved into the correlation between screen time exposure in children between the ages of 1 year and the development of delays in five key domains at ages 2 and 4. The findings revealed a noteworthy connection, with increased screen time during a child's first year of life showing an association with developmental delays in the areas of communication and problem-solving at ages 2 and 4. This study underscores the significance of monitoring screen time in early childhood and its potential impact on crucial aspects of development, advocating for a cautious approach to screen-based activities in the first year of life.
