A new study confirms that children spending long periods of time on smartphones and television affects the growth and development of their brains
Where the researchers performed magnetic resonance imaging of the brains of a group of children and monitored the white matter in the brain, which is the area where the development of language, educational skills and rational control processes.
They noticed that the brains of children who spent long hours in front of smart screens did not develop their white matter as quickly as it did in the brains of children who did not do so.
Experts emphasized that a child's skills develop based on interaction with his surroundings through communication and play, and that the first five years of his life are the most important period in which brain connections develop.
Accordingly, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under the age of XNUMX months not be exposed to smart screens at all.
And that the viewing time for children from two to five years old is limited to only one hour per day.
The more time children are away from smart screens, the better it allows them to interact with people and their outside world.
