Abstract
Screen time refers to the duration spent using electronic devices. Increased screen time in young children is linked to language delays, particularly when exposure begins before age one. The AAP recommends no screen time for children under 2 and limits of one hour per day for those aged 2-5, supervised by caregivers. There is limited research on this topic within our population.
