The way kid develops and learns is by observing the outside world and the interactions between people. When a kid has too much screen time they are preoccupied and develop a sort of “tunnel vision.” This tunnel vision cuts them off from real life they should be involved in and absorbing. This is detrimental to normal development. Language develops mostly between the ages of 1 ½ to 3 years of age and studies have shown that language skills develop greatly when kids are interacting with adults that are playing and speaking with them, not from a computer or video screen.
