How phones affect child development at ages 1 and 6
A recent scientific study conducted by the French Institute of Health and Medical Research and the National University of Singapore has revealed that excessive screen exposure during early childhood, especially before the age of one and up to six years old, leads to long-term negative effects on learning and memory skills. The results showed that increased screen time during infancy and upon entering school is associated with decreased academic performance and later working memory decline. The study emphasizes that the impact at age one is the strongest and most dangerous, as an infant's brain is in the most sensitive stage of development. The World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend avoiding screen exposure for children before 18-24 months and limiting usage to less than an hour daily for children aged 2 to 5 years. The timing of use and the duration of direct interaction are crucial factors in safeguarding their cognitive and educational abilities in the future.
