Human Growth and Development / Unit 4 HGD 0504 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Screens in Infancy
Captions available
The idea
Infants with more than fifteen hours of screen time a week are more likely to show delayed vocabulary and attention problems by age six.
In practice
A parent scrolling a phone while the baby waits, a pattern called technoference.
Where people slip
Parents distracted by phones report more child behaviour problems. Infants learn better face to face than from any screen.
