Yeah, that „study“ studies child neglect…
„By age 2 […] those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills.“
Wow. Children with no human interaction lacking communication skills, news at eleven.
Those poor children… this is really sad. And I’m really surprised they kept at it for so long.
What are you talking about? This data was collected in a field study, not in a lab.
I’m just finding that fact sad that people but their 1-year olds in front of a screen for 4+ hours a day, that’s all.
Ah ok, I thought you were insinuating kids were being excessively exposed to screens for the sake of research, which wasn't happening here. But yeah, I agree feeding your toddler 4+ hours of digital media a day is very depressing.
Oh, I see… I should’ve worded it a bit better.
I don’t know too much about these kind of studies, but it is based on a questionnaire filled out by the parents. I imagine it is quite hard to account for so many variables, since everybody interprets things a bit differently…
