British Study Warns: Screen Time for Children Under Two Threatens Their Future Development

A comprehensive scientific study conducted by researchers at the University of Leeds has warned of the severe risks associated with exposing infants and children under the age of two to screens of any kind. The study confirmed that early screen use is linked to long-term negative consequences, including delayed language development, sleep disorders, vision problems, and an increased risk of obesity. Researchers called for an update to current global guidelines, emphasizing the need to completely avoid screen time during this critical developmental stage. Instead, they recommend interactive activities that promote family communication and physical play. Furthermore, they urged technology companies to take responsibility by limiting the promotion of content targeted at infants.
