The Impact of Screen Time on Children's Language Skills

[wiktoria-sciencevega]

My name is Wiktoria, I'm particularly fascinated by how social structures, behaviours, and environments shape human experiences. Whether it's exploring psychology, sociology, or education, I believe in the power of understanding societal dynamics to improve and uplift communities.Recently, I came across an article that highlighted something I wholeheartedly agree with—screen time is impacting children's language development. Let me know your opinions!

Here are a few key points from the article:

• Heavy screen use leads to weaker vocabulary skills: Children from families that use screens frequently show poorer language development.
• Video games are the biggest culprit: They tend to consume the most time and reduce opportunities for learning and interaction.
• Interactive, real-world engagement is crucial: Kids develop stronger vocabulary when engaged in conversations and activities outside of screens.

Maybe done a little more than two-thirds, and quickly. The results mostly not seem surprising.
