Too much screen time killing vital conversation for kids

A new study from Australia out today has found that for every minute of screen time that toddlers are exposed to at home, they're missing vital language opportunities. It suggests the average 3-year-old could be missing out on more than 1100 words with family members each day. Meanwhile at the University of Canterbury, a study from Dr Megan Gath found that higher levels of screen time in early childhood are linked to poorer developmental outcomes for Kiwi kids. She told Nathan Rarere the new findings are highly consistent with her research in New Zealand.
