Reply to comment by TarthenalToblakai in A new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school. by Wagamaga
This shouldn’t be underestimated. My son has ADHD and another neurologic condition that comes with poor executive function and impulse control.
He absolutely loves screens. Even when he was a tiny baby if I put the tv on to watch some thing he would crank his head around to try to watch. I’ve always been careful about screen time because I was worried about how drawn he was to it. But the temptation to use it is always there.
