Ok my life experience - after 2 week's of holiday I decided to hide tablet from my 5 year old, as his behaviour got worst every time when he had it in hand . I said it's broken and it was sent for repair. He was upset at first but than he started to play with his imagination more. His concertation spam has increased so much it's unbelievable, his tantrum has decreased, his vocabulary is more advance, finally he likes exploring drawing items and reading books more than ever. It's been 5 months and he didn't even asked once since. Most of children's videos are simply stupid with opening presents, throwing toys etc. I can only say do it before it's too late, but you have to be ready to play with your child more. There is not even ONE day I regret my decision.

I am an elementary teacher I have 7 year old twin boys and a 5 year old girl. I started from birth. There is a theory about the right side brain education. Well my boys are in 4th grade and my 5 year old girl is reading at a second grade level. They are so advanced in math, social studies, biology, chemistry, physics, they speak 3 language, lots of encyclopedia knowledge. Everywhere we go people think they are geniuses. I am a firm believer that geniuses are made not born. My family is a very large family. I am 1 among of 8 siblings . So I have 21 nieces and nephews.

I watched my niece grow up up until she was about 3(she’s 4 now but no longer lives with us). From baby to 3 and even still she is watching KZbin. She had unlimited access whether it was on the tv or tablet and based on observation I really believe it’s affected her cognitive development negatively. The results?: Her attention span is very short Her speech is delayed She shows more interest in tv/iPad then imagination or human interaction She struggles to draw objects on her own or from imagination(think of a tree or house or people for example) She struggles to follow complex instructions She will often tune people out when focused on the tv/iPad. Keep in mind she also has minimal interaction, playing, teaching from family members as well (I think they believe she will learn everything she needs from KZbin, and early education(which didn’t start till 3). They had a girl come over to teach her basic things(honestly things a parent should be teaching their kid) like mr.potatohead, how to use shape toys, poking,pulling and other sensory related activities and games. Those were only once a week tho) Family still spoon-feeds her to this day and she doesn’t know how to sit still and eat at the table. The only time she eats at the table is with the iPad propped up in front of her and even then her attention span is so short. When the iPad or phone is taken away she would throw a huge tantrum to which the parents would give up and give it back. I see aLot of parents struggle with this and fail to see it’s their actions that have created the child they are today. You know what, no ones perfect, we make mistakes, but the important thing is to acknowledge if it’s becoming a problem and STEP UP as a parent. It’s never too late. Start setting rules, boundaries, and designated tv/iPad time. The child should not be able to decide how much tv they get to watch and whenever and if they throw a tantrum that’s okay. Understand and recognize why your kid is throwing a tantrum and you’ll be able to pull through. It’s gonna be hard in the beginning but by limiting screen time and creating a sort of routine/schedule your kid will benefit so much more. HOWEVER parents need to STEP UP and spend quality time with their kids as well. Adults are just as addicted to technology but with kids we can’t be selfish like that anymore. The toddler years are so critical to building a loving trusting bond. When you get home from work greet and hug your children. Don’t glue yourself to your phone right after. Your kid has been looking forward to seeing you all day. Engage with them, ask them to help you set the table or cook and make it fun, same with cleaning up after dinner. When your done play a game or do some educational fun games with them. Put them to bed early and read them a book before bed! The earlier they go to sleep(8pm is usually a good time) the more time you have to relax, go on your phone, watch a movie, get extra work done. I’m so tired of hearing parents complain they’re tired when they get home or on the weekends. Look at your child. Do right by them. They need you. My niece doesn’t get the love and attention she needs and watches too much KZbin as a result and it’s sad because she’s such a bright girl with a very kind soul. Kids benefit way more from real interaction with people not technology

And I must admit both of us are happy with the outcomes. I believe the key is moderation and responsible usage.

TV watching research shows that there is an underactive area of the brain when watching TV versus reading, socialising or anything else. Computers are inherent in stimulating the same sort of interactive stimulus that toddlers have benefited from across previous generations for hundreds of years. its just now that neural growth is more innate and more insular or internal, doesn't necessarily require a social interactions to occur.

But this is not surprising at all. What we need to ask is whether these particular cognitive skills are very beneficial to them and what other damage might we be doing to them in other areas?

This video was like seeing how well a sick patient absorbs vitamins without even testing how they could reduce or prevent the sickness

I’m 12 and when I didn’t get a tablet till 2012 when the iPad 2 came out. When I finally got my hands on one I enjoyed toys more. Now at 12 it is much different story

My son has never been attracted to electronics he sees his cousins doing it but would rather interact with people and toys around him. We've never tried to shove a device in his face and take the time to interact with him on a daily basis

really interested on this topic and the effects technology have on young children. I think that having these things from early on makes them smart in some areas however also decreases their concentration on things which are'nt electronic

The fine motor skills type of desterity is better because that is what tablets develop. Kids are more naturally going to develop the physical coordination. I am worried about the mental concentration and emotional control because I was not going to let my daughter use electronics at a young age especially but it kind of happened because we all use them around here...I am not proud of it but anyways now she begs and whines and screams for movies, throws fits about us not letting her play with our phones, does not concentrate on her toys or play with them as much and seems to have little or no desire to, does not look at her books as much, does not sit down and play as much as she used to, and definitely gets irritated more easily. She is only 19 months. I just connected that a lot of the issues arose as she became introduced to more and more electronics...

Ok so my thoughts on this, it’s ok to give your kids tech, just regulate constantly on what they are doing and god forbid keep them far away from KZbin

It might have been just the section of the clips. but it seemed that the non-tech were asked to draw vertical lines where the techs were asked to draw horizontal lines. I would think that horizontal like would be easier.

Base on our studies in educational management, the effect of the usage of tablets among toddlers is poor speech development. I am not saying not to let them use tablets but do not overuse tablets.

Was this study funded by Apple? You know how else you could make a baby stack bricks higher? Have them stack bricks. They didn't bother to look at anything dealing with attention span which is the primary issue everyone complains about with kids who use tablets.

I wonder how many of these tests would have been far more influenced by 'the parent and child have tried activities similar to this before, so the child understands the requirement' than by 'the child has been allowed to use a tablet'. It was pretty clear that a number of those kids (who looked older) had spent more time drawing with crayons, or playing with blocks.

In my opinion, too much exposure to technology reduces your critical thinking skills. For instance, you might rely on Google too much if you're using it to search everything for you.

Group is two small and also there can be completely different explanation. For example it could be parents. The ones who see that tablets can help in development and the others can belong to different social groups with different education levels which impact development of children and it is nothing to do with tablets.

Screens keeping toddlers up at night makes sense because blue light suppresses melatonin release, which normally helps one fall asleep, but the idea that screen time "shortens attention span" is complete nonsense. Attention span is a component of executive function which is affected by genetic (or familial) and congenital factors. It's like saying sugar or bad parenting cause short attention spans.

I am more concerned about the tech toddlers’ eye-sight development, since they all have short hands and they are physically very close to the tablets, for certain time, daily.
