Early childhood is a critical time period for the development of language and communications skills. How does digital media exposure affect this development in young children ages 0-5 years old? What does the research say about which types of media use might have more of an impact? What should parents and caregivers know about how to foster optimal progress of foundational skills?
Children and Screens held the #AskTheExperts webinar “Finding Words: Language Development and Screen Use” on Monday, October 28, 2024 at 12pm ET. A panel of leading researchers, child psychologists and development experts shared key research, insights, and best caregiver practices and interventions for early childhood language and communication development.
