Reply to comment by Neither_Ride3473 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

In the apartment I lived last, my neighbors were giving their baby 6+ hours of screen time a day. I lived there from the baby being around 6mo-1.5 years. They would just put her in the high chair, and put the high chair maybe 3 feet from the tv and just play movies all day long. She would eat all her meals in front of it. By the time she could sit up on her own, she was totally addicted. She’d plop herself down right in front of the tv and was totally entranced. It was crazy to see.

Now she’s 4 and really struggling.
