| Description |
A recent meta-analysis found that there was an increase in screen time of 52% during the pandemic. As professionals treating young children for developmental delays, we are increasingly in the position of explaining to parents that too much screen time is detrimental to development. Although families are often given guidelines about limiting screen time, they are often lacking in information about why those guidelines were developed. Participants will learn how too much screen time affects developmental domains including speech and language, social-emotional, executive functioning, and cognitive skills. Attendees will also learn strategies to share with parents on when and how it is appropriate to introduce screens to young children.
